Should I Be Concerned For Pressure 107/61?
I am a white female, am 47 years old, 6feet tall and weigh 151 lbs. I feel tired. My blood pressure is 107/61 and pulse is 63 beats per min. I am a kayak Eco-tour guide, so I am active. Is this a good pressure or should I be concerned. I had slight chest aches yesterday centralized which felt like a muscle pull.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.
First I will come to your blood pressure and heart beat readings there are well under normal limits and infact perfect for your age. If your heart beat doesn't drop below 60 , it is a healthy rate of heart beat.You weight and height combination is quite satisfactory too.
Secondly talking about chest pain ,You haven't given much detail about the pain but to help you i will give you a complete account of how cardiac pain presents.
1) Central Chest pain compressional in nature.
2) Gets worsened on exertion.
3) May get referred to left arm shoulder or jaw.
4) It is NOT sharp.
5) Does NOT change with breathing movements like breathing in and breathing out causes no change in the intensity and
character of the pain.
You after reading this can tell easily if your pain is anything like a heart pain or not.
Regarding lethargy, first thing first , take a look at your life style.
1) You must be sleeping well.
2) You must be eating well.
3) Mental stresses make you lethargic.
4) Lack of fluid intake makes you lethargic.
5) You must eat balanced like fruits vegetables and proteins in a fine proportion.
If there is nothing to correct and lethargy persists then visit your doctor to look into medical causes of lethargy which can be anything from hormones to infection.
I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.
Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
