A member asked:

My usual bp is around 144/90 and my pulse is slower...in the high 50s...what does that usually indicate? i am very active and run about 6 times a week

Blood pressure: Your blood pressure needs to be checked after at least 15 minute rest period, by a professional. The reading you provided is at the borderline of mild hypertension and it is prudent for you to get evaluated by a doctor. Keep up with the exercise.
