My 14-year-old sister's been having these sharp pains in her left arm and chest. Sometimes her back hurts too, and even her jaw is in pain. I'm really worried about what might be going on. What should I do?

Q: How do you feel when you have high blood pressure?

Most people who have high blood pressure do not have symptoms. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may have a pounding feeling in their head or chest, a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness, or other signs.

It sounds like your sister may be experiencing symptoms that could be related to a heart issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Aspirin 325mg to chew, which can help in case of a heart-related emergency. Encourage her to rest and stay calm while waiting for medical help to arrive.

I'm really confused about what the normal blood pressure value is supposed to be. I've read online that it's 12080, but then I've also heard from doctors that 14090 is normal, and some even say up to 160100 isn't a problem. I'm really anxious about this and just want to know what the actual normal range for blood pressure is.

It depends on age But. < or =14090 is ok
