Dd has returned home from school today concerned about her resting heart rate. They all dod an experiment in science and measure their resting rate and then after exercise. She was worried as her resting rate was almost 90 beats consistently and all of her friends were in the 60-70 range. I've reassured her that she is fine but it got me wondering if it should be this high? She's 15 5ft 6 and slim (size 6) but healthy. Is this normal?

As someone who was advised by GP to get a home BP monitor when I started HRT, it does sound high (presuming it's diastolic). I'd investigate if it were me.

Do you know what her blood pressure is?
I have a high resting heart rate and low blood pressure, and have been told by doctors that this is commonly linked and completely normal.
