Question about my blood pressure? My blood pressure was 88/47
With a Pulse of 57.

I am 15 years old and a woman, if that helps any. I thought that a normal blood pressure range was 120/80 for an adult, and a healthy pulse is somewhere between 60-80. Is it different for someone my age?

What is wrong with me? Can I have a disease?

Your blood pressure is low, but it may be normal for your blood pressure to be low. Your resting heart rate is fine. Ideally athletes try to get their resting rate into the 50%26#039;s - which shows heart strength.

If you are having dizziness, you may want to see the doctor. If you are healthy, this might just be the way your body is.

My wife%26#039;s BP is about 90/60 as an adult and she is very healthy .. it is just the way that she is. I would agree that this reading may not be 100% accurate.

  • It sounds like the reading was innacurate. I would get another reading.
