If a person has a palpable pulse then what is their minimum blood pressure and why?

Answer 1

If his or her systolic blood pressure[?] is below 90, the radial pulse will not be palpable. If his or her systolic blood pressure is below eighty, the brachial pulse will not be palpable. If his or her systolic blood pressure is below sixty, the carotid pulse will not be palpable. Since systolic blood pressure rarely drops that low, the lack of a carotid pulse indicates death. It is not unheard of, however, for patients with certain injuries, illnesses or other medical problems to be conscious and aware with no palpable pulse.
These are not hard and fast rules; it varies from person to person.
The reason that you can't feel a pulse when the blood pressure is low, is that there is diminished cardiac output. The heart isn't putting out enough blood to get it through the entire body with enough force to create a pulse.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
