Is my blood pressure quite high?

Because last time I had it checked it was 120 over 80 or something
im 15

Perfect, 80 though is a little high. Are you active? If so, it should be lower. 120 is perfect, so they say.

Guidelines for BP for a 15yo is 110/64 so that's a little high. Looks like folks are using an adult guideline here.

Dear EMT, as a paramedic for 20 yeras I have never heard of this goofy equation for BP. Drag out your old textbooks and have a look. If a man is 90 would his normal pressure be acceptable at 190? Probably not. Todays guidelines say BP should be under 120 for an adult so how does age factor into that?????

Both of the other answers are WRONG.

If you are a child (which in this sense you are), your BP should be 80 plus your age...that should give you 95/70.

When you are an adult female it should be 90 plus your age.....giving you 105/70

If you are an adult male, it's 100 plus your age....making it 115/80

It's normal
