Question

Is a blood pressure reading of 13565 with a heart rate of 76 normal for someone who has stents in both left and right arteries since April 2021 and also has diabetes along with other health issues? I'm a little concerned about whether these numbers are okay given the circumstances.

The blood pressure reading of 13565 is within the normal range. For individuals with a history of heart issues, such as having stents placed in the arteries, it is important to closely monitor blood pressure. In this case, the blood pressure reading is considered normal. However, it is always advisable to continue monitoring blood pressure regularly and follow up with her healthcare provider for further guidance.

  1. Blood Pressure: Your reading of 135/65 mmHg is generally acceptable. The systolic pressure is slightly above the ideal target for those with heart disease and diabetes, but not alarmingly high. The diastolic pressure is normal.

  2. Heart Rate: A heart rate of 76 bpm is normal and indicates a regular pulse.

  3. Recommendations: a. Continue regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate. b. Follow your healthcare provider's advice on medications and lifestyle. c. Seek medical attention if you experience symptoms like chest pain or dizziness.

Always discuss your readings with your cardiologist to ensure your treatment plan is optimized.
