Your Questions About Blood Pressure Chart


Ken asks…


Chris asks…

I get mine at the doctors office


William asks…


My blood pressure reading the last time I was checked was 135 over 95.
And I was reading a blood pressure chart for healthy blood and the highest one there was 130 over 85. So is my reading good or bad for normal blood pressure?


I’m 14 years old.

The 95 is problematic and should be assessed by a doctor.
