What if bLood pressure is systolic-132 and diastolic-98 is it ok?

Answer 1

It is slighlty a little bit on the upper limit of normal. Your Diastolic is approximately 2/3 of systolic - which will be 64 in this case. your BP value is an interplay of a lot of factors and to interprete this particular value 96/73, the knowledge of your previous BP will be important. my advice: check it again, then repeat it about 3 times daily to vary with when you are relaxed, exercised, standing, sitting etc. if you are not satisfied with what you get, contact your doc.

Answer 2

yes, it's still in normal range, some persons with higher or lower BP than the standard of 120/80mmhg, but for them it is considered normal, in some geriatric patients 130/80 is considered their normal BP.

a 130/80 BP in a 12 y/o child needs to consultation for work up.

Answer 3

132 over 98 is not a healthy blood pressure reading. Your top number is in prehypertension stages and your bottom number is in stage 1 hypertension.

Answer 4

It's a bit above average, but enough to be considered high. Normal is 110 or 120 over 70. Remember too that BP readings can be affected by many things, including medicines you may be taking.

Answer 5

no...normal diastolic pressure is 80mmhg while systolic pressure is about 120mmhg

Answer 6

Yes, that is a very good BP.

Answer 7

High normal

Answer 8

Yes.
