Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 16 year old girl, I am very athletic a 3 sport athlete and today I went to get my annual physical and as they should they took my blood pressure. It was 136 over 52. That's not good defenitly for a person my age. What would be the reasons for that?
hi, I don't think you need to worry about your blood pressure. as you are atheletic, you are likely to have low pulse and mild systolic BP. I would suggest you not to be too concerned about it. All the best.
