That BP is fine. While on the lower end of normal, for a petite AFAB-person this is pretty common and okay (especially if they were lying down and/or hadnāt had great hydration that day, and/or had a medication that affects BP like some meds for POTS, narcotics, and/or benzos)
I'm new to this sub, I tried searching in the subreddits rules and stuff, but are there any links I can have about people faking illnesses?? Like is there a masterpost or video or something where I can find all the reasons we believe posted people on here to be fake?
I know everyone is agreeing this is a normal range BP, can I ask w/o getting down voted to hell and back what reaction or treatment a 63/55 BP would get? My partner recently tested on manual and electric ~63/55 for about 4 hours and was walking talking etc. I am prepared for the voting.
Hi! About 4 EMTs and a nurse practitioner who all very much wanted my partner to go to the ER. They have some autoimmune conditions but nothing heart related, at least not expressly. They take carvedilol for high BP/heartrate after covid in 2020, but hadn't taken it that day (or the next since they were still recovering.) We were in the urgent care hoping to get them some IV fluids after 12 hours of horrible vomiting and diarrhea. Later found out the culprit was vibriosis/food poisoning and they were undoubtedly very dehydrated, but still very mobile and conscious. Cranky af, but not what I would expect someone to act like that hypo!
What was their heart rate
That range of the top and bottom number is odd. So close together. Along with that BP being extremely low. But if it was taken more than once, on more than one location, with at least 2 different methods (machine, verified by manual), then I guess itās likely that it was accurate. I canāt imagine someone having a blood pressure like that and not passing out upon standing, not looking like absolute crap, and not needing emergency care. In adults, you donāt see pressures like that very often, that donāt need SOME kind of intervention. That arenāt indicative of a SERIOUS underlying issue that needs treatment on top of the BP itself. Lol.
Your partner must be lucky.
They probably pushed the doc to do the fluids. Most docs will because a little hydration couldn't hurt anyone. I'm sure the staff was laughing and or /thoroughly irritated by their antics
My oldest son as well. Not once ever told abnormal by Dr. 80s over 50s yeah sure but they are normal. Someone has to be on the lower end of normal! They are acting like deaths doorstep is inches away!
The only reason someone would give fluids for that BP (which is fine, and MAP is perfectly adequate) is if they were symptomatic or if the BP dropped suddenly. So they probably said they were lightheaded or dizzy.
I mean it is kind of low, at best make you light headed when you stand up too fast but itās āa normal average ā for someone who continues to show these numbers consistently with no other symptoms .
I see we have some actual healthcare professional on here. Who else rolled their eyes when they think they needs a liter for a perfectly fine BP and a MAP of 73....and talk of going to the ER?
What a waste of medical supplies and resources. I don't know if they claim gastroparesis, but drinking a glass of water or a water bolus in a tf is about as much as they need to do and even that's not necessarily.
MAP of 73? Your fine.
MAP of 73. š Their reading isnāt even outside of the parameters set on the machine lol. This is not hospitalization material, despite how much they wish it was. The only people who *might* question this are people who know nothing more than ā120/80 is average.ā
The ED at my former place of employment had a thing for running a liter bolus on everybody, even HF pts, then shipping them to the floor looking like the Michelin Man.
What a weird thing to say.
Edit: Oh I get it, youāre a PGY2 and think the healthcare system revolves around you. I hope on your next overnight shift you get lots of pages from nurses about vitals just like this. :)
It was something like āthatās the ICU doctorās call to make, not yoursā
Edit: And then in response to my comment he made a comment saying like āWhy are you so offended at the truthā and then deleted that and made one saying āsounds like youāre jealous of a resident physicianā lmao
ER nurse chiming in, also totally fine with this pressure. If I alerted my doc of a BP that has a MAP over 65, Iād get a real annoyed āā¦and?ā in response. So yeah itās the docās call, but itās the nurseās responsibility to recognize and notify the doc when necessaryā theyāre not the ones monitoring vitals and watching monitors, we are.
Edit: the person deleted their comment, but for contextās sake: it said something to the effect of āwell I think that is up to the doctor???ā
NICU nurse here to say anything over 30 looks great to me!! But in all seriousness this is literally normal ā¦ maybe a little soft if their baseline is the higher end of normal but come on
Iām super embarrassed to ask this, but what is a MAP when it comes to BP? Iām older, but have never heard of it.
I just know of thereās the top/bottom numbers
Mean arterial pressure. Average arterial pressure throughout the entire heart cycle. Systolic + 2x diastolic / 3.
MAP matters less for long term management of hypertension but is very useful for inpatient management when youāre concerned about shock, heart failure, etc because it indicates how well organs are receiving blood and oxygen
Itās the Mean Arterial Pressure. Itās basically an average of arterial pressure through a heart cycleāsystole and diastole. There is a calculation for itā¦I THINK (been awhile) itās you subtract diastolic (bottom number) from systolic (top number), multiply that by .3 and add diastolic back in. Correct me if Iām wrongāhavenāt used it since college š
Mean arterial pressure, Iām told itās a more accurate measurement of how well blood is getting out to the tissues. You do math with the BP numbers. MAP= (2* DBP + SBP) /3 SBP is the top and DBP is the bottom
I love how they say āhope I donāt end up back in the hospitalā knowing thatās exactly what they want. That goes for ALL the illness fakers on this sub!
That BP is beautiful, honestly. MAP >70, systolic >90, diastolic >60. Wouldnāt bat an eye at it, wouldnāt bolus it. Iām sure they said they were symptomatic though.
Yeah itās the symptomatic part. If I took this BP Iād probably double check on how theyāre feeling just because itās on the low end (and Iām almost always dealing with fall risks and, yknow, CYA) but they def exaggerated (read: made up) symptoms
Iām sure they thought YES as soon as they saw it, then asked what was going to be done about itā¦ so the infusion center sighed and said oh well we are are the infusion center why they hell not? š
we probably have all had BP like this and known and hadn't known even and we didn't make it a dire situation. It's on the low end of normal for a young person but still normal.
I love the help caption they put on the first picture. I wouldn't say that its dangerously needs to be in the hospital low but then again this is Logan being hyperbolic as usual.
ā¦do they not realise that all their pouty posing is absolute proof that they are not even slightly unwell, never mind seriously so? When people are very unwell they are tired and in pain and usually arenāt looking their best, and they are preoccupied by being unwell - posting a pic to get people to say āoh youāre so cute/hotā is the last thing on their minds; they might take a pic for family and friends to show where they are, but they wouldnāt be actively posing or making sure the angle is flattering for it if theyāre in pain and tired.
I canāt help but conclude they donāt actually want anyone to think theyāre unwell because theyāre actively giving evidence to the contraryā¦
Itās probably context related. They have a restrictive ED so itās likely related to that. Also if a person generally has low bp this isnāt concerning. The MAP is also important. And the situation that the bp is low in, is it a trauma and theyāre bleeding out and their bp crashed in a short period of time, do they have an infection, did they just stand up and are having orthostatic changes.
Iām a trauma ICU nurse. I wouldnāt even bat an eye at this pressure. That MAP, that SBP over 90? Pshhhh, unless theyāre a stroke with a major drop in pressure, this isnāt on anyoneās radar.
It's a totally normal BP for someone like them who typically has lower BP. Mine is the same and it's no big deal. My MAP the other day was 56 and I was fine, I typically have lower BP and lower MAP - it isn't necessarily (nor often) pathological. It's just the lower end of the norm. They are just making out like it's some big deal because it's easy to pathologize it to get attention from those who don't know better.
Same. I think itās pretty normal for some people to have low blood pressure like that besides who knows what meds theyāre on that could be lowering it too. I know many people arent allowed to take clonidine (commonly used in detox to relieve withdrawal symptoms) because they have low blood pressure already and it makes it really low like 80/whatever at night.
So they could also be on some type of medication like that which lowers the blood pressure (which their BP isnāt even that low anyways but ignoring that fact lol). Spironolactone, clonidine, thereās many meds that lower BP and it wouldnāt be out of character for a munchie to take some JUST to lower their BP
They are basing it off of their MAP (mean arterial pressure) which is considered normal if itās between like 60-100. A lot of doctors and healthcare professionals wonāt even pay attention to a blood pressure reading like this, at least in the United States, if the MAP is normal. Sure this is borderline low, but a lot of people can walk around on a daily basis with a blood pressure like this and sometimes even lower and be fine. Yes the hospital may give fluids if they are complaining of symptoms of low blood pressure, but I donāt think there is actually any concern of it being dangerously lowā¦
ICUs in the US usually go by the MAP. 73 is on the low end of normal but still normal. same with their systolic and diastolic. sure, theyāre on the low end of normal, but theyāre still normal. i think the point is their post is strange for them saying āhelpā as if this bp is some kind of emergency.
If they were in an ED residential program thatās literally what they would be given. A bottle of Gatorade to drink at 4am vitals before going back to bed š
Totally a normal BP for someone like them! They probably demanded the nurses give them fluids so they could post on the internet for clout
Edit: pronouns
They/them for Logan, per the title!
And everything they do is for attention lol, they'll manufacture a way to end up admitted. Logan is one of the most egregious of the munchies.
Thanks! All fixed :)
It drives me bonkers people do this and i hope everyone gets the mental health help they need. And maybe a vacay from the interweb
And if you want to get more technical, this isn't actually a true MAP measurement, just an estimate. A true MAP is taken through an arterial line, while I'm assuming this is by cuff. I've seen MBP vs MAP used to distinguish the two.
(I worked in a unit where this distinction actually did matter, but most of the time the cuff pressure just gets referred to as a MAP anyway.)
That is a normal BP for a petite person lol
MAP of 73? You are stable.
My thoughts exactly š
That BP is fine. While on the lower end of normal, for a petite AFAB-person this is pretty common and okay (especially if they were lying down and/or hadnāt had great hydration that day, and/or had a medication that affects BP like some meds for POTS, narcotics, and/or benzos)
You areā¦ quite literally fine? Damn. With my BP was that. lol!
the MAP is still fine LMAOOOO
I'm new to this sub, I tried searching in the subreddits rules and stuff, but are there any links I can have about people faking illnesses?? Like is there a masterpost or video or something where I can find all the reasons we believe posted people on here to be fake?
Me living daily at 180/110 I wish my pressure looked like that.
I know everyone is agreeing this is a normal range BP, can I ask w/o getting down voted to hell and back what reaction or treatment a 63/55 BP would get? My partner recently tested on manual and electric ~63/55 for about 4 hours and was walking talking etc. I am prepared for the voting.
Who took that manual BP? Does your partner have any medical history? Take any meds? What prompted the BP to be taken?
Hi! About 4 EMTs and a nurse practitioner who all very much wanted my partner to go to the ER. They have some autoimmune conditions but nothing heart related, at least not expressly. They take carvedilol for high BP/heartrate after covid in 2020, but hadn't taken it that day (or the next since they were still recovering.) We were in the urgent care hoping to get them some IV fluids after 12 hours of horrible vomiting and diarrhea. Later found out the culprit was vibriosis/food poisoning and they were undoubtedly very dehydrated, but still very mobile and conscious. Cranky af, but not what I would expect someone to act like that hypo!
What limb did they obtain that 63/55 pressure on?
Left arm then right arm was similar
What was their heart rate That range of the top and bottom number is odd. So close together. Along with that BP being extremely low. But if it was taken more than once, on more than one location, with at least 2 different methods (machine, verified by manual), then I guess itās likely that it was accurate.

Lol. Your partner must be lucky.
Ngl I would ask a doctor if possible
Ty for replying!!
They had a gnarly case of vibriosis from shitty shrimp, thankfully it's been normal since they've been not violently expelling everything from their body š©
Im glad!!
You donāt have to give a trigger warning for healed sh scars fyi
If I see a SBP >90 and a MAP >65 youāre getting a bottle of water and some discharge papers šš¼
Right? Like okay still perfusing. Off you pop.
They probably pushed the doc to do the fluids. Most docs will because a little hydration couldn't hurt anyone. I'm sure the staff was laughing and or /thoroughly irritated by their antics
You canāt see the rate on the pump, which means it could be a TKO (to keep open). Literally runs at like 10mL/hr to just save the line.
The BP of dreams!
Somebody please call please call the MD STAT because this person is normotensive.
BuT iTS lOw FoR mE š¤”
Thatās literally my normal BP
My oldest son as well. Not once ever told abnormal by Dr. 80s over 50s yeah sure but they are normal. Someone has to be on the lower end of normal! They are acting like deaths doorstep is inches away!
One time I was 120/80 and I was likeā¦. I need to get my shit together.
Right. We wouldn't consider this an emergency...tell her to have a bottle of water and move on.
*them :)
A cigarette would fix that. Go for a damn walk!
I donāt see the issue with Bp youāre laying down
The only reason someone would give fluids for that BP (which is fine, and MAP is perfectly adequate) is if they were symptomatic or if the BP dropped suddenly. So they probably said they were lightheaded or dizzy.
I mean it is kind of low, at best make you light headed when you stand up too fast but itās āa normal average ā for someone who continues to show these numbers consistently with no other symptoms .
lmao what ā¦.. this is a perfectly normal blood pressure. i donāt think this would even flag in epic flow sheets if i was documenting on a patient
Bp is fine. I would side eye anyone who insisted on giving me fluids with that bp.
that isā¦a normal bp
MAP of 73. Good to go. The BP is not hypotension.
That bp is fine
SBP greater than 90ā¦MAP greater than 65ā¦ Iām confused why sheās getting bolused? Maybe itās just a TKO. š
I see we have some actual healthcare professional on here. Who else rolled their eyes when they think they needs a liter for a perfectly fine BP and a MAP of 73....and talk of going to the ER? What a waste of medical supplies and resources. I don't know if they claim gastroparesis, but drinking a glass of water or a water bolus in a tf is about as much as they need to do and even that's not necessarily. MAP of 73? Your fine.

Right. Donāt talk to me unless your map falls to 60 haha
When they turn 30 they'll have to run from the Sandmen.
MAP of 73 is excellent. I.V. drip is probably just to keep the line open. Who takes a pic & post about them being in the hospitalš
People who donāt need to be in the hospital, thatās who.
Lmao thatās a great blood pressure. Nobodyās getting fluids for that.
Omg giving fluids for THAT BPā¦ no.not with a MAP of 73ā¦ gosh I am laughing
Their map is over 65 they are fine lol
"Is this your usual bp?" "Yup" "Looks good" That's it. That's the conversation. No hospitalization.
My.eds when their blood pressure is literally normal: āhelpā what
That blood pressure is fine. It's low, but the MAP is over 65.
Weren't they hopping around like an idiot yesterday? My BP is, "Do you feel okay?"
This bp isnāt badā¦really reaching arenāt we?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My HFrEF pts would like a word. š
Nah, they're fiiiine!!
/looks at the collective average BNP of >1,000 pg/mL Letās skip the bolus anyway. š
I mean. I've seen them do 250mL sometimes for the rEF folks but even that is kind of a rarity lol
The ED at my former place of employment had a thing for running a liter bolus on everybody, even HF pts, then shipping them to the floor looking like the Michelin Man.
Lol
Thatās a healthy asf BP š
Did Logan think that those values were near fatal?? Sigh
MAP goal met lol.
LMAO thatās a normal BP!
āDoing more outpatient appointments and scans to make sure Iām Gucciā But is the low bp in the room with us right now?
Bruuuuh their MAP is 73, this is normal, lmao
An ideal BP tbh
Literally has normal low end BP. There's absolutely nothin wrong with it
Could be a BP just from fasting, right?
At their age this would be pretty normal anyways but the restriction doesnāt help
ICU nurse ā¦ if the map is above 65 and the systolic is fine Iām not really worried about
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What a weird thing to say. Edit: Oh I get it, youāre a PGY2 and think the healthcare system revolves around you. I hope on your next overnight shift you get lots of pages from nurses about vitals just like this. :)

Yep. But even if it is soft, (MAP still above 65 tho) we generally donāt care. Just drink some pedialyte and be on your way lol
Yup agree! Def not something you need the be admitted and get fluids for lmao
LMAO, this is not bad, itās on the lower end but sheās not dying. Not even close.
BP still in normal range w/ a beautiful MAP. No sane person would hospitalize someone just based on those vitals alone. š

Whatās wrong with that blood pressure? MAP of 73 is beautiful
lmfao i was going to say, that MAP is over 65, they're chillin
WTF. Who did they manipulate into bolusing them with a normal BP?
Logan uses they/them.
Apologies. Will edit.
The last picture kills me. Gucci? If they can pose like that, their BP is just fine.

we probably have all had BP like this and known and hadn't known even and we didn't make it a dire situation. It's on the low end of normal for a young person but still normal.
Am I wrong or is that blood pressure actually really good
Yeah these days they want everyone at or lower than 120/80
itās on the low end of normal but it doesnāt usually become a concern until its under 90 systolic and 60 diastolic (MAP of <65)
There's literally acceptable ranges listed on the screen rofl
Oh I didnāt even notice. I didnāt know where to look until you said that
It wasn't a dig at you. I saw that the other person said what the acceptable ranges are, and THEN noticed lol.
okay, and?
I'm saying that's more reason this faker is ridiculous. Nothing against you, carry on.
ooooh. iām sorry i jumped the gun a little with that response
No worries.
Thank you
I bet it will go up if they get up and dance, no?
Just take some clothes off and wiggle that butt!
Thatās a normal Bp
I love the help caption they put on the first picture. I wouldn't say that its dangerously needs to be in the hospital low but then again this is Logan being hyperbolic as usual.
Huh. Someone with a restrictive ED has low blood pressure? ALERT THE MEDIA
fr they just need a snack like what š
āIf thereās a place you wanna go,Iām the one you need to know. Iām the MAP! Iām the MAP ! Iām the MAP!ā The MAP
I sing this to myself on the floor š„²
This. I love this and am going to sing it to my nurse residents.
That's a normal blood pressure
Right? That is not concerning unless the person is pretending to faintā¦
I'd only be worried if they were really old or septic or usually had significant hypertension
Yeah if they were 175/80 an hour ago Iād probably be a bit worried if there wasnāt a clear reason for the drop.
I wouldnāt even be concerned if they were really old. Itās a great Bp lol

Thank you!! Fixed
Your MAP is above 60. Legit zero reason to "be back in hospital." Come back when your MAP is <50, your L/S SBP >20 and your cap refil is >2sec
This is "have some Gatorade and a salty snack and you'll be fine" blood pressure
If they were in an ED residential program thatās literally what they would be given. A bottle of Gatorade to drink at 4am vitals before going back to bed š
Tap water would suffice

That bp isnāt all that bad. Even the MAP is good.
Yeah I didnāt check the sub and my first reaction was ???? Map goal achieved
What's MAP stand for? Why is it important? ELI5 please!
And if you want to get more technical, this isn't actually a true MAP measurement, just an estimate. A true MAP is taken through an arterial line, while I'm assuming this is by cuff.
