What Does This BP And Pulse Rate Of 16 Year Old Indicate?
Hello, My 16 year old son was messing around with my BP cuff and decided to take his BP and it was 137/77 and resting heart rate was 99. He is not an athlete and does not play sports. He is 6 ft tall and weighs about 130 pounds. He was a premature baby due to my pregnancy induced hypertension and was given steroids in utero. He also received caffeine injections after birth in the hospital NICU. We do see a family dr about once a year. He seems healthy and has a good appetite and sleeps at least 8-10 hours per night.Should I be concerned?Thank you for your help,Mary Madigan 714-310-4519
