There are super athletes and genetically blessed people out there but Superjohn, listen I just talked to my daughter and son-in-law both doctors (not cardiologists) about your numbers and this is not to alarm you but an exam by your family doc is not good enough although maybe a start. They said get checked out by a cardiologist to be sure. Insurance will cover this usually. Get a referral from your doc for a cardiologist to work you up. If nothing is wrong then hooray you lost nothing. Maybe your numbers being this way are because things are good for you but if only on the outside chance that there could be something that needs to be treated go ahead and get checked out, and don’t let anyone talk you out of it. Don’t roll the dice on this.

This.

FWIW though, my money is on bad BP #s. Have to get it checked out though. It's just dumb not to.

Is that good or bad? This stuff seems so simple but the more you read the more questions. You would think low is good but 30 is too low and 60 or more seems like too large a pulse pressure. Normally I wouldn't be at all concerned but I read a really low diastolic could mean stiffening of the arteries.

Fluid flow whether in the ocean, a pipe, or blood vessel is driven by relationship between valocity and pressure. Simpley, pressure drop ~ density * velocity squared,

A larger pressure drop would indicate blood is hauling through the arteries, - a GOOD sign.

How do I indicate I like the first sentence but not the rest of the post?

^ I'd do it like this. YMMV
