I'm a 27 year old female and never do any exercise. I seem quite healthy although I struggle with my weight. Today at a medical I was told my blood pressure 100/62 and pulse rate 60 were those of an athlete. So how come my boyfriend who exercises 3x a week has a much higher pulse and blood pressure? High blood pressure runs in my family so I'm excluding genetics. What other factors contribute? Cheers.

Actually you are showing signs of low blood pressure which may be associated with your weight problem. I would be very surprised if a doctor said what you report here, even a nurse!!!

If you start feeling feint, dizzy or slightly out of it see a doctor fast.

Low blood pressure can be just as dangerous as high blood pressure!!!!

Some of it is your genetics or the way your body is made up. Some people have higher blood pressure and others a lower blood pressure. If my blood pressure was as low as yours, I would be seeing stars and blacking out or fainting.

The answer may be stress. You may be a low stress person (one who reacts to stresses in a beneficial way - nothing much bothers you). Your boyfriend may be easily upsettable by most anything or he doesn't dissipate his stress efficiently. In that case, it doesn't matter if you are an athlete or not. I don't know if you remember Dr. James Fixx. He was called the 'Running Doctor'. Ran in many marathons. He dropped dead of a stroke (I seem to recall) when he was on the track. If I am correct, don't change. There is NOTHING wrong with you.
