What is the normal blood pressure and heart rate for a 15 year old girl?i am 15 i am 5'2" and weigh 100 lbs. i just took my blood pressure and it said 102/82 with a heart rate of 72. is it high or low. i'm concerned because i've been having continuous dizziness spells and headaches and today i was a little bit nauseous. i got a blood test today but im pretty worried. my doctor said i probably have anemia but i'm afraid it could be something worse.

120/80
That is the ideal rate but many people have different rates for different reasons. Having a low heart rate is just as bad as having a high heart rate. It's not always life threatening and could just be an imbalance. You need to consult your doctor.

This sounds very good for you, it will change according to what your doing, how you feel but, right now your fine. If your having problems with dizziness and light head, then you could be anemic. Probably low iron, girls that bleed hard during their period usually have a little low blood. Watch you diet, eat a lot of red meats for the iron or take a supplement.

That is a totally normal, ok, and healthy blood pressure and heart rate! 120/80 is the ideal blood pressure for ADULTS, but most people don't realize that the majority of people do not actually have this blood pressure, and they have their own normal. I'm 21 and my blood pressure is typically in the high 90s/high 60s to low 110s/70s. My heart rate is usually a bit faster (resting is typically around 90-100), but that is MY normal, and how my body operates. So your blood pressure and heart rate are probably normal for you. These are good charts for pediatric BPs

but everything is subjective. For example, Lance Armstrong's resting heart rate is 32. That could be potentially dangerously low for someone else, but normal for him.
