I took my blood pressure, and it said i had 94. Is this good or bad.
Thanks
Thats not a proper blood pressure. 94 was your pulse rate. I blood pressure is 120/80 or something like that. You have a top number which is the systolic pressure or the force that your heart pumps your blood out and the bottom number which is your diastolic pressure which is the tension in your veins (or heart at rest). If your blood pressure is 200/100 that is bad and you should go see your doctor.
If your top number is 94 and you weigh 100 pounds thats about normal. If your top number is 94 and you are 300 pounds there is a problem.
If your bottom number is 94 and you are stressed out or nervous thats normal.
Either way since you gave one number i would recommend you going to the pharmacy and having a proper one taken.

There should be two numbers. Was 94 the top or the bottom number?

Your supposed to be between 80-120. Infact even 140 is fine. I once drank a soda then took the test and i got 180 which was fine. If its below 60 though its a serious problem, but yeah its fine
Oh my bad thats sugar. Blood is two numbers. Perfect blood pressure is 110 over 70.

Normal range is from 80 to 130 systolic, and from 40 to 80 diastolic.

Don’t know what the 94 was, possibly your heart rate.
B.P. is expressed as 2 figures.
The first figure is the systolic pressure, i.e. pressure in the arteries when the heart is in systole, i.e. pumping.
The second figure is when the heart is in diastole, ie relaxing ready for it’s next contraction.
The first figure, as rough rule of thumb should be no higher than 100 + your age.
The second figure should be between 70-90.
