Is A BP Reading Of 101 And Pulse Rate 61 A Concern?
Question: My blood pressure is 101 with a pulse rate of 61. Is this too low.
Brief Answer:
NOT too low but provide more information.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understand the concern.
Blood pressure reading 101 (if systolic) is considered as completely normal clinically, but you have NOT mentioned your diastolic blood pressure, so please provide me your both systolic and diastolic pressures.
Blood pressure normal range is wide, being systolic pressure between 90 to 138 mm Hg and diastolic pressure 60 to 88 mm Hg is considered as a normal.
61/min pulse rate is NOT too low, rather it can be considered as a normal clinically.
But let me also know,
Is this pulse rate is constant or you have just noticed it today?
Please get back to me with above answers.
Regards,
Dr.Sandip Kabra
