Pulse Rate
Do you know how to check your pulse? Do you even know what your pulse rate is? It is one of the first measures of your well being. It is important to have a blood pressure kit - itshows how high/low your pressure is, it is vital that you check this regularly, especially if you have health problems.

Pulse Rate Health & Special Psychology
I don't believe your pulse rate shows what your blood pressure is? Could you provide more information for how that is supposedly true? I have high blood pressure and take medication to control it. I have never been told to check my pulse to keep an eye on it. Instead a blood pressure machine was suggested. My blood pressure is easily controlled and runs at 110/70 to 120/80. So, my risk of heart disease is the same as anyone with normal blood pressure because it doesn't matter if your blood pressure is normal on its own or through medication as long as it is normal.
Here is some information about healthy pulse rates:

| What you need to know is the number of beats per minute. Generally the lower it is, the fitter you are - unless you have a pacemaker or heart disease. and from same article: So what are "normal' pulse rates? The average resting heart rate for an adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute, while well-conditioned athletes can achieve between 40 and 60 beats per minute. The maximum pulse rate is 220 minus your age, and the target for a healthy pulse rate during, or just after, exercise, is 60 - 80 per cent of this. Therefore, if you are aged 50, you should aim to build up fitness gradually until you reach a target pulse rate during exercise of between 102-136 bpm (beats per minute). If you are aged 55, your target should be between 99-132 bpm, age 60 = 96-128 bpm, age 65 = 93-124bpm, age 70 = 90-120 bpm, and age 75 = 87-116 bpm. https://www.saga.co.uk/health_news/article/...7A68.asp?bhcp=1 |
My resting pulse is 68. I know this is a sign I am in pretty good shape physically. Most people my age have higher pulses because most people my age don't exercise regularly.

I believe Neo was mixing up two topics. I have edited the first post to show the difference between pulse and pressure and checking both, but they are still both important to check regularly as one can influence the other. For instance high pulse rates can lead to high blood pressure and conversely a slow paced heart rate will give normal or low blood pressure (depending on how low it is).

I always suffered of low blood pressure and since I became a Vegetarian my pressure is even lower. Today I am feeling very dizzy and my husband checked my pressure and it was 79/55. When I started feeling really dizzy, I know is my low blood pressure, I usually take a bit of salt or eat something and add salt. It's my fault because I don't really cook with much salt. But I always try to keep an eye on it.

Pulse Rate
Blood pressure declines 14 to 18 years before death. Blood pressure in the elderly begins to decrease about 14 or so years before death, according to a new study. Researchers looked at the electronic medical records of 46,634 British citizens who had died at age 60 or older. Blood pressure declined over the last 14 to 18 years of life in both healthy elders and those with serious health problems. Source 7t.
