Wait to go to hosp: First this fluctuation of your blood pressure could be normal for you. A reading of 96 is on the low side. I would advise that you make an appointment with your family physician to give you an exam to determine if the is something causing low blood pressure. Low blood pressure can make you dizzy & faint with rapid changes in position and cause you to fall or it could be a hidden illness

Stop.: Your pulse is normal. 60 to 100 is normal. When we get excited, angry, exercise, move around, it can go higher. Well con d itioned maratho athltes can have pulses as low as 30s and still be ok. If you dont have a heart problem where your heart races like atrial fibrillation, you really shouldnt be worryimg about your pulse.

It's fine.: Those pulse ox readings are fine. Any reading above 92% would be normal. Your level will vary depending on your activity level, environment, and sleep/wake.
