my daughter's doctor visit?

Question

Is all the following normal?

My daughter is 15, 5'7'' and 127 pounds
Her pulse was 88
Her Blood pressure was 116/60
her vision is 20/70 on both eyes

it was a sports physical at the school, so all i have is the numbers, etc.. no chance to talk to doctor or anything...

Answer 1

Everything's perfect except the vision! This poor girl needs contacts or glasses or lasik. Get her to an optometrist. Now that's what being a good mother is all about!! Give that Mom a star!! :)

Answer 2

She's a wee bit taller than normal. Are either parent tall so to speak? Her pulse is somewhat high considering it was a sports physical. But, that could be misleading. The better someone is in shape (cardio wise), the stronger the heart becomes which pumps more forcefully which would require less pumps which would account for a lower heart rate. The average BP is 120/80. The 116 is the amount of pressure in mm Hg (mercury) at the highest. The 60 is the lowest. Her eye sight is not great. 20/70 vision means that when she is 20 feet away from an object looking at it, a person with 20/20 vision can see the same object from a distance of 70 feet.

Besides the vision, she's pretty much normal. However, like I said, measurements can be skewed one way or another by many factors such as did she run to the doctor's office? If so, that may be the reason for her heart rate and BP. Nervousness definitely plays a role.

Hope it helps!!

I do think that all is well with your daughter. (Obviously you know she needs glasses if she does not already have them)...
but on the sheet that the doctor filled out for the sports physical there should be a place where the doctor is asked point blank if she is approved to play....
each state probably requires a different form but it should have a box to check someplace on the form where it says that she is either: approved to play, approved to play with the following restrictions (and a line where these restrictions are listed) or is NOT approved to play....
So the form itself should give you the answer and the reassurance that you are looking for.....
as a side note, I don't know what the circumstances of the physical were, but when I took my son to get one, the cost was $50.00 for the doctor's 10 or so minutes of work. If I have a question, (and I did), he had better answer it or I dont return there....customers and patients are his business....he wants them to be satisfied he should be willing to answer your questions
NOW for a more practical answer********
Sure this guy is a doctor but YOU are the first line of defense for your daughter, I seriously believe that YOU will know if there is something wrong long before he will.
TRUST your instincts, mom, the doctor is with her for 15 minutes, you have known her for 15 years! If something is wrong, YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW....

Answer 4

With the exception of her vision, this seems to be okay. Her weight is pretty much right in the middle of the healthy range for her age and height. Blood pressure less than 120/80 is considered normal. So she is healthy.

Answer 5

The Rota is going to given to her orally the different pictures will take transport of to her interior the leg. some mom and dad do supply their toddlers Tylenol before the bypass to others supply it after the bypass to. My son's pediatrian to me to offer my son the Tylenol after. i don't be attentive to if it relatively is by way of fact he's preemie or purely considering the fact it relatively is superb to attend and notice in the event that they're even going to get the fever. they're going to in all probability ask you questions approximately how she's eating what she's doing...(protecting head up, smiling ect.) Write a itemizing of questions which you are going to have for the wellbeing care expert so which you do no longer forget approximately at the same time as your there. i could wait to offer the Tylenol....yet it relatively is purely me. She could experience sick or no longer eat o.k. yet it relatively is purely an component effect of the pictures so do no longer trouble to plenty.

Answer 6

Her height and weight seem to be about right. Her pulse is a tiny bit high, but she is young and active. I would not worry. Blood pressure seems normal for a young person who eats junk food and stuff. I do hope she has glasses for her eyes though! She seemes in fine health.

Answer 7

is she having any symptoms?
she should go to her primary care doctor for a follow up.
is the vision a type 20/70?

the weight is healthy
pulse : slightly high/maybe due to anxiety or smoking...
Blood Pressure: healthy

Answer 8

It looks like everything is normal, her vision is a little on the poor side, but noting to really worry about. Those are some really good vitals to have. All athletes want their vitals to be that good. Tell her to keep up the good work and stay healthy.

Answer 9

I'm not sure about how normal it is, but other than her eyesight being a bit off, it sounds ok. Can you call and request to talk to someone? Or could you take the numbers you do have and talk to your family doctor about them? It would certainly answer your questions and probably make you feel better.

Answer 10

in some cases the blood pressure could be considered a bit low is she taking any prescribed medication that may be affecting her blood pressure and eyesight
