My Mom's blood pressure is 92/50 Pulse is 69. Another reading was 85/40 pulse72. What does that mean?
She is 80 years old. Lightheaded was the reason for taking. Using a digital blood pressure checker but she very thin arms which may be giving a false reading.
What I mean is, while yes, if you have thin arms, you may need a pediatric cuff, bp that low in an elderly person who is feeling light-headed warrants a call to 911 so that emts can evaluate.
