A member asked:
I was wondering is counting your pulse an accurate blood pressure reading?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pulse: Counting the pulse measures the number of beats per minute of the heart, roughly. It does not measure blood pressure.

Pulse and BP are: 2 separate things. Pulse rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute and BP is the pressure inn your arteries
