In order to monitor their own health, a person must know several indicators. For example, what should be a normal pulse and pressure. With their frequent measurement, you can understand whether everything is in order with health.
Pulse
It is worth noting that with a pulse, everything is somewhat simpler than with pressure. Its ideal indicators for a healthy person in a calm state are 72 strokes in one minute. To get accurate results, you need to measure your heart rate several times throughout the day.
Pressure
Before you understand what pressure a person should have, it is worth considering the basic concepts. What is pressure at all? Everyone probably knows that it is connected with the heart. The heart muscle pushes blood and creates pressure on the blood vessels. It is precisely this pressure that needs to be followed. The main ones for measuring are two values - systolic and diastolic pressure. How to understand this? Upper blood pressure (systolic) - indicators of the heart at the time of its highest contraction, lower (diastolic) - at the time of greatest relaxation. The units of measurement for these quantities are mmHg.
About norms
So what pressure should a person have? What is considered the norm, and what is already a deviation? The following pressure is considered ideal in the world of medicine: 120/80. But, when measuring your indicators, it is worth considering various factors, depending on which it may be slightly different. So, with age, the numbers may increase slightly. There are studies that show that healthy women have slightly lower blood pressure than men. It is worth noting that there is also such a thing as working pressure. This is the blood pressure of a person at which he feels comfortable. And it can be both above and below the norm.
Deviations
Having found out what pressure a person should have, it is worth noting that if it is different from normal, but is comfortable for a person, you do not need to panic and run to the doctor. But if the blood pressure is higher or lower than normal and the person feels it, it is better to see a specialist. Young people should also monitor these indicators and in case of deviations do not hesitate and consult a doctor.
Below normal
People whose blood pressure is below normal are called hypotensive. Their indicators can fluctuate in the region of 90-95 mm Hg - upper and 60-65 - lower. But do not get too attached to the numbers, they can also slightly differ from these indicators, and at the same time there will still be hypotension. The most common signs of low blood pressure in a person: drowsiness, lethargy, unwillingness to work, frequent headaches and dizziness. In addition, hypotonics are meteorological, they respond to all weather changes.
Above norm
Knowing what pressure a person should have, it is worth considering indicators that are higher than ideal. So, hypertensive patients are people who constantly have high blood pressure. If the norm of pressure in an adult is 120/80, then in hypertensive patients this indicator is higher - 140/90 mm Hg. The danger of hypertension is that it most often does not appear in any way, and a person can learn about such a disease only with frequent measurement of pressure. There are no particular symptoms of hypertension. Rarely, headaches in the occipital part, a sensation of pulsation of blood in the ears, can be observed.
