Each person's body is unique and each person's blood pressure will vary based simply on this. Normally, a blood pressure that low would cause you to feel some effects (dizziness, lightheaded, weakness, etc.). If you feel any of these symptoms, take a trip to your local ER. Low blood pressure can be as harmful, if not more harmful, than high blood pressure. \n\nMake an appointment with your doctor to have this checked out anyhow. Even if you don't feel bad or feel any symptoms, a blood pressure that low could be an indicator of a more serious issue. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

The most recent US guidelines are below 115/75, but your blood pressure numbers aren't bad. Talk with your doctor and see what she suggests. You don't need blood pressure medications, but you might want to avoid salt and salty foods.\n\nThere's nothing unusual about slight differences between blood pressure in each arm. Since your heart is on your left side, your blood pressure may be higher on your left side. To get consistent results, always use the same arm, preferably the left one.\n\nAn occasional nosebleed is probably not a big deal, and it might just be related to dry indoor air. If you get more nosebleeds, talk with your doctor.

That is way to high especially for a 15 year old.  Your normal blood pressure should be 120/80 and 135/85 is considered high.  You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Your pulse should be fine a normal pulse is 60-100 beats per minute.  However, as I said before you need to see a doctor, blood pressure that high can kill you.  By the way if you took your blood pressure through those machines that they have in stores they have been proven to give incorrect numbers, but to be on the safe side go to the doctor.  I wish you luck!

112/90 as a blood pressure is not bad.  Everyone has a specific blood pressure relative to their lifestyle, and good be high or low depending on lots of factors.  Your blood pressure is typically considered within normal limits.  Your systolic pressure (top #) is a little low relative to your diastolic pressure (bottom #), but if you are worried about your blood pressure you can buy a relatively cheap blood pressure machine and check it once a day.  If you find abnormal rates (normal is 120/80) you should take your findings to a doctor and see what treatments you could get to alleviate the abnormalities...either high or low.

The top number (systolic) is the maximum pressure in the artery (when the heart beats). The bottom number (diastolic) is the lowest pressure in the artery (when the heart is at rest). "Too low" is determined by if it affects the person. Low blood pressure can mean dizziness or fainting. If that's not a problem, then it's not too low. The main problem with blood pressure is when it gets too high, because then it affects the arteries, which can lead to other problems. As long as he's feeling well, that's excellent blood pressure for someone his age.

It's the silent killer, there are really no visual signs.\n\nHealth Tip: High Blood Pressure, a Silent Killer\n\n(HealthDay News) -- Blood pressure is the pressure of blood applied to the walls of the arteries when the heart beats (the top number -- called systolic pressure), and when it's at rest (diastolic pressure).\n\nNormal blood pressure for adults is considered less than 120 over 80, the American Heart Association says.\n\nOften there are no signs or symptoms of high blood pressure. Yet it directly raises a person's risks of heart attack and stroke.\n\nIt's best to have your blood pressure checked at least once every two years, the association says. If you have high blood pressure, also called hypertension, your doctor may recommend changes in diet, getting more exercise, quitting smoking, and in some cases, medication.\n\n-- Deborah DiSesa Hirsch

In a healthy individual, blood pressure does vary depending on the time of day, but it should be lowest in the morning just after a relaxing night's sleep (actually, it should be lowest when you're asleep, but you're generally not measuring then). It should peak around mid-afternoon.\n\nCertain medications, like corticosteroids, will cause high blood pressure in the morning. However this could be a warning sign of a bigger health problem. As the previous answer suggested, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Your blood pressure, pulse and weight sound o.k., but I think you should go and see your doctor just to make sure.\n\nHave you had any blood sugar problems previously?  What is your hemoglobin levels like now?  Did you feel any better after you ate?

Generally, blood pressure will be lower at the higher parts of the body--in this case, the leg is likely to be higher and the arm lower.\n\nNote that the most accurate reading of your blood pressure for medical purposes is at the level of your heart.  That's why it is normally taken at the upper arm, which is about the same elevation as your heart.\n\nGood luck!!

That's a very good blood pressure...applaud yourself! :)\n\n It's not bad if it gets lower as long as you don't feel weak, dizzy, or about to pass out. If you have any of those symptoms, make sure to see your doctor.

70 to 100 is normal. Anything higher may be too high. You should go to a doctor (general physician or endcrinologist) and get it checked. Are you often thirsty and have to use the bathroom frequently? \n\nYour active work may play a part, but I would check with a doctor. Good luck!

When I have low blood pressure, I get dizzy and feel week.  I usually get low blood pressure when I am dehydrated.  \n\nAccording to NANAY.com people with low blood pressure may experience: \n"tiredness, sleep disturbances, giddiness, black-outs, fainting, anxiety/depression, or sweating, and may become more conscious of their heartbeats."
