A question from Anna: What is the normal blood pressure and pulse for a 17 year old girl?
I have a medical condition that requires me to take my blood pressure after laying down for 5 minuets and then take it again after standing for 2 minuets. What is the normal blood pressure and pulse for that? My example is laying down 111/67 with a pulse of 76 and then standing 126/76 with a pulse of 105. Is this normal for my pulse to jump like that?

I’m not sure what your medical condition is, but a normal blood pressure is around 120/80 and heart rate of 60-100. Heart rates faster than 100 are called tachycardia.

You have got “Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome”.
Both blood pressure readings are normal. Optimal BP is less than 120/80 mmHg. Your systolic blood pressure (126 mmHg) is under prehypertension stage. But your pulse rate while in standing position is a bit high. Resting pulse rate should not exceed 100 beats per minute.
