Obviously below sixty, but it is not possible to gauge diastolic pressure by palpation.

What does it mean when there is no reading on the diastolic number?
It's time to buy a new BP monitor. Or the patient is dead
What is more dangerous high diastolic or high systolic?
Having a high systolic bp is more dangerous than high diastolic bp.
What does the dystolic number mean and what should it be?
your diastolic bp, briefly, is your heart intake bp, the lower number, which should be +- 80.
What does a BP of 121 over 47 indicate?
This blood pressure reading is a little low on the diastolic (2nd number), but there are many factors (age, exercise, to name a couple) that affect a particular BP measurement. See related link for some more background.
What does a systolic pressure of 122 and a diastolic of 75?
That is a very good BP. Congratulations☺
What are the 2 terms used to describe the pressures in BP?
Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure
Explain the readings for systolic and diastolic pressure that is what is actually happening?
What does the BP numbers mean? The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
Why uncross legs while getting blood pressure taken?
Crossing the legs at the knees can cause an increase in systolic BP as well as a smaller increase in diastolic BP. Crossing the legs at the ankles does not have a significant impact on altering BP.
Is 137 87 blood pressure normal?
This BP is in normal range. 102 over 87 means Systolic BP is 102 and Diastolic BP is 87. The normal range is Systolic of 100-140 and Diastolic of 60-90.However, the interesting thing about this BP is that the Pulse pressure which is defined as the difference between systolic and diastolic BP, is narrow.Narrow Pulse may be seen in normal people but can also be seen in heart failure, arteriosclerosis, markedly decreased intravascular volume like dehydration and diabetic ketoacidosis.
What are the pharmacological advantages of telmisartan over valsartan?
telmisartan lowered both systolic and diastolic BP to a greater extent than did valsartan
What is critical blood pressure reading?
If you systolic (top number) bp is greater than 180 and/or diastolic (bottom number) is greater than 110 you should seek emergency care. -LPN 6 yrs
Why would your diastolic blood pressure be 47?
You would be in shock. A diastolic BP of 47 is dangerously low.
