Blood Pressure
I got my blood pressure results from this machine but before I could check the normal numbers I had to go home. These are my results:
Systolic= 107
Diastolic= 060
Pulse= 093
Can someone tell me what systolic and diastolic means and give me the normal numbers for each of those 3 so I can see if my results are normal or not? thanks in advance

well the systolic is the pressure when the heart beats and the diastolic is the pressure between beats. The average is 120 over 80 and seeing as yours is 107 over 60 thats quite low
You have a high pulse though, this might be because you were stressed or had been excersising lots?

id say your blood pressure is actually a little on the too low side. the 107 is only slightly too low, still healthy. the 60 on the other hand has me worried. your pulse is also a little on the high side, but again not too unhealthy. try getting your blood pressure taken at the store again, and if it is still this low, make an appointment with your doctor.

ask your doctor. she/he will be the best at being able to tell you what that means

Your BP is normal. Very good and so is your pulse.
The higher (systolic) number represents the pressure while the heart contracts to pump blood to the body.
The lower (diastolic) number represents the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats.
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 118/76 (118 over 76); systolic = 118, diastolic = 76.
Blood pressure below 120 over 80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is considered optimal for adults. A systolic pressure of 120 to 139 mmHg or a diastolic pressure of 80 to 89 mmHg is considered "prehypertension" and needs to be watched carefully.
A blood pressure reading of 140 over 90 or higher is considered elevated (high).
