A member asked:
Can you use blood pressure and heart rate readings to know if your heart is ok.. please advise am aged 21?

Depends: What concern do you have about your heart? Do you have any symptoms? The tests depend on the issue that may be affecting the heart. Heart rate and blood pressure are important but inadequate measures. If you have any symptoms it would be prudent to consult your doctor. Wish you good health!
