Welcome to Healthcare Magic
This is a good blood pressure reading. It should be measured in sitting position and no stimulants have to have been taken atleast an hour before the test, even caffeine. The person should be at rest for 15 minutes before checking BP. Is the person a known heart case.

corelate with each other.Thoug mentioned BP is on little lower side does not mean any
thig if pt is totally comfortable with that BP.This can b e taken as normalo variant.
