What Does This Systolic And Diastolic Pressure Indicate?
Hi. I started to have a bit of chest pain since yesterday. Today I went to a pharmacy and had my arm pressure checked and it said: Systolic pressure: 88 Diastolic pressure: 66 Pulse rate: 93 bpm Is this high? I still have the chest pain. I m a 33 year old female and my grandfather did die of a heart attack. Thank you
