Q: bloodpressure reading of 127/65 for a 15 year old boy before any activity. Can that be a problem when he has football ? what could be the cause ?
Hi Rrmom,
Ideally his blood pressure would be 120/80 or less. A reading of 127 is slightly elevated. You may want to monitor his blood pressure a couple times to see what the average is and also see if there is any increased feelings of stress/anxiety when he has his blood pressure taken that might cause it to be slightly elevated. I recommend discussing with his doctor to determine if there is any cause for concern.
All the best,
