When it come to blood pressure, the doctor kinda trying to convince me that my blood pressure is normal when I did not even ask about. Saying like women blood pressure is usually lower; that I am healthy and do execise so my blood pressure is consider ok. This trigger me to go check the blood pressure chart.

I check and check and finally give up as I couldn't find my range. But I guess mine is the normal range. According to what I know, age and gender do play a part. But doc, next time try to sound more confidence lehz so I will not doubt your words k?
Haha... at last I found the correct range le.. hee.. doctors usually refer 120/80 is the normal blood pressure but most expertise think 115/75 is more accurate. And there is fact that if systolic pressure is less than 90mm Hg or diastolic pressure is less than 60mmHg, then the person is suffering from low blood pressure.. hmm.. Mine should be still ok ba.. =x
