Hello neomi guardado,   Normal heart rate for adults ranges from about 60-100 beats per minute.  Much higher or lower, the rate should be discussed with your physician.   Blood pressure should be 120 (systolic) / 80 (diastolic).  Low blood pressure (100/60 or even a little lower) is not terribly concerning, unless you are having symptoms, including dizziness/light-headedness or fainting, especially if when getting up from rest.   Blood pressure is considered high if 140/90 or above, and should be treated with medications, diet/exercise, or both.    For children, age determines normals.  For example, infants heart rate can be as high as 160 beats per minute and be normal but a seventeen year-old's should be much closer to the adult range of 60-90.  Blood pressure varies similarly.   Hope this helps, Neil MD
