A member asked:
My blood pressure is 120/60. i read that pulse pressure of 60 or more is dangerous. is it true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulse pressure: You are correct that a pulse pressure (pp) of > 60 is bad. However, your systolic BP of 120 is normal. Therefore, at your age of 21, your pp of 60 is nothing to worry about.
