Normal values

Cherrypie your H/R is slightly fast but you have got a darn good blood pressure readings. Keep it up

Resting HR : 85 - 91

BP: 109/70

The high heartrate is because I have pain all the time due to endometriosis. But otherwise I am a healthy person 😃

My heart rate at rest is at the lowest 58bpm. When I'm active, it can get as high as 120bpm but my heart never goes over that unless I am just hauling it. My BP at rest is the only time it's ever been taken and it's always around 110/89.

Average HR 95bpm. BP is slightly higher with an average of 145-155 systolic and 95-105 diastolic.

Steth if these are indeed your resting values you might want to seek medical attention. The blood pressure values are consistent with mild hypertension. The pulse rate is worrisome because it's not consistent with hypertension. There are a myriad of conditions which could produce this. If these values are during exercise then they are normal.

You should really consult with your doctor, as long term hypertension has serious medical implications , like heart and kidney disease to name but two.

Resting heart rate is generally between 65-75 bpm, but it usually hovers around the 68-69 mark. BP is generally around 115/75 or just about 120/80; I'm never truly sure due to the fact that I am always severely terrified when I go to the doctor, so it's always high.

I'm usually about 60-62 bpm resting and 110/65.

Fucking, tennis and bicycling is good exercise.

Susie I couldn't agree more. However surfing is better. Almost drowning always is good for a nice cardiac stress test! I can't say I ever measured my vitals though. I was too busy with other things.

I never surfed and only water skied a few times.

I do like swimming in our pool but I never got into doing the 50 lap routine. Our pool has mostly been a vehicle for socializing.

It's the best but there was a pretty steep learning curve for a klutz like me.

My resulting pulse is around 60 - 70, my BP is around 110/70 - 120/80. Varies depending on different machines, if I've been walking around a little before it was measured, etc. Right now my pulse is 77. I am slightly turned on from reading medfet stuff!

I have "White coat syndrome" and my BP runs about 130/85 during my first reading in my Doc's office. He takes it again, after we have talked awhile and it usually reads 120/75. This is on two antihypertensive drugs that I have taken for years.

This past winter in the hospital, the cuff around my arm took my BP every 15 min. automatically. (Hard to get any sleep). My BP was running about 100/60. Don't know why it was this low.

Myself it's usually 50 to 65 hr when totally relaxed, bp 120/80 most of the time .

I was at my cardiologist's yesterday for a 6 month checkup. It was also my first day back at college, so I was a little stressed as it was, and I was admittedly nervous about going in as usual. I guess my blood pressure showed that! 152/100 I think the nurse said after taking it twice. When the doctor came in to do his exam, he took it for a third time. 132/80 by the time he checked it. I was a little embarrassed considering my blood pressure is usually much lower at appointments!

Lately they have been using the electronic BP cuffs and if your BP is high, these cuffs will give readings that are even higher than they really are.

ALWAYS use a manual sphyg and a stethoscope for a true reading.

Suzie,

We have a Criticon monitor in the office, and have all seven cuffs from newborn to what is affectionately called a "thigh cuff" for use on people who have arms the size of thighs. Generally I find they're pretty accurate compared to taking the blood pressure manually with the mercury unit on the wall of the exam room, providing you have the right cuff on it.

For most office visits we use wrist units from Omron. The readings correlate with the readings on the Criticon, and no matter how big or small the patients are, their wrists don't vary by enough to make the unit inaccurate.

I like to have patients bring in readings from home, as that's where they have to have controlled blood pressure. My own BP goes up 30 points systolic in a doctor's office compared to home!

I'm with Docinny. As with manual BPs the trick is to use the right size cuff. Too small a cuff produces factiously high readings. Of course I guess the gold standard is an art line. Hard to do as an outpatient.

All three times it was checked manually in the office yesterday. I actually don't think I've had a doctor not take it manually outside of a hospital setting.

May I be a pain in the ass?

Wouldn't the correct term be iatrogenic--related to something caused by the doctor, rather than factitial--related to something done by the patient to himself?

Sorry Susie I disagree. Iatrogenesis refers to illness caused by medical error not factious values. It is a matter of semantics I suppose.

i·at·ro·gen·ic

īˌatrəˈjenik/

adjective

of or relating to illness caused by medical examination or treatment.

I didn't mean to cause an illness, just an incorrect measurement.

An incorrect measurement is caused by the doctor, not something the patient does to himself.

A factitial disease is something done by the patient to himself.

Under normal circumstances, my resting heart rate is usually around 50-60 bpm, and my BP tends to hover around 110/70. I'm pretty fit though; I do at least an hour of intensive exercise a minimum of three times a week, more often five. I do try to go to the gym on the other days, especially if I'm training for an event. During exercise it's not unusual for my HR to hit 180; on several occasions it's been over 200. Gulp. Especially because I'm almost 40! Thankfully it returns to it resting rate pretty quickly- according to my coach, my cardiac recovery time is less 4 minutes based on working at 75% maximum capacity for 10 minutes. I think that means I'm doing ok!

Thought I would post here-had a yearly physical today. Of course I have been thinking about it for days so going in my heart was pounding and very fast. When first brought in by the nurse my blood pressure was 137/82 and my pulse 102. I undressed completely on top and pants off as well. The paper gown for my legs didn’t do much-but the top gown even less! I am about 300 lb, so that and my DDD breasts were not covered well! Once the doctor came in he rechecked my bp-came down to 128/76 (I am on meds for hypertension). After looking in my ears and throat, he walked behind me and said “Let’s listen to your lungs”. The vest opened in back so he had easy access. I’m getting over a chest infection-which he heard immediately in my bronchial area. When instructed to take deep breaths, was a bit difficult because of this-and he moved rather quickly around the six points on my back. He then had me lay down and went under the flimsy gown to check my heart under my breast (which he had never done before)! The heart exam wasn’t long-maybe 5 seconds at each spot-but he did comment that my heart sounded good. After palpitation of my tummy and a quick breast exam, I had blood work and was done. But I keep replaying it in my head-and my heart is pounding quickly again now just thinking about it!

...what the hell do you call "normal values" ???

For me, there are no "normal values", as soon as I see a white coat with a female doctor - and with a bloody STETHOSCOPE !!!

Or are THESE values, taken by this leady in white with her Stethoscope in red the "normal values"???

Even when I try to take my BP at home, it rizes as soon as I take the BP device in my hands...

Tell you what: I even don't know, what my so-called "normal values" really should be...

In my opinion, in the framework of the society of cardiofiles there are contradictions. And one day they will come out. Some people love the heart as an organ: they like its appearance, sounds, pulsation. And the second part of people loves the erotic aspect: the stethoscope itself is an erotic tool that makes the blood boil and the heart accelerate, especially when it is on the chest of a cute half-naked girl. But any of these points of view has the right to exist. 😃

Today my resting hr was 72bpm. My blood pressure was 144/102 before meds and 126/80 after.

Funny how even some medical "norms" can be ethnocentric.

"The Yanomami live as hunter-gatherers and gardeners in a remote rainforest region of northern Brazil and southern Venezuela. Their diet is low in fat and salt and high in fruits and fiber. Studies of adult Yanomami since the 1980s have shown that atherosclerosis and obesity are virtually unknown among them, and that they have extraordinarily low blood pressure on average, with no apparent increase as they age."

Hey and hi,

my normal values should actually correspond to the prescribed norm values for blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation.

But I always like to deviate from it, either in the very low range (RR: 75/35mmhg and below, P.: 55 - 45bpm, Spo2: 85% - 73%, especially in the morning), or in a very high range (RR: 200/110mmhg and above, P.: 120 - 190bpm, especially in the evening).

Since I was born, I have my own medical history relating to heart and cardiology. I am in medical treatment and I am very happy to have such wonderful doctors.

Best regards
