P is one of the vital signs, refers to the pulse, P normal range is 60~100 beats / min, the normal pulse is generally equal to the heart rate, commonly used pulse instead of heart rate, but there is atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and other arrhythmias, the heart rate is often greater than the pulse rate, at this time need to be based on cardiac auscultation to determine the heart rate.
BP stands for blood pressure, and the normal blood pressure range is 90~139mmHg systolic and 60~89mmHg diastolic. If the systolic blood pressure is ≥140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure is ≥90mmHg in 3 measurements, hypertension can be diagnosed.
If the patient’s measurement of P or BP is abnormal, it is recommended to repeat the measurement after rest. If it continues to show abnormality and is accompanied by panic, dizziness and other discomforts, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and then take active treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease.
