<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I just heard about the pulse pressure on the Dr. Oz show. What should a normal reading be. My pressure s 90 f the time real good but If I use the math Dr. Oz mentioned that the pressure should be about 40. Seldom could I accomplish that , I m 78 and thtis am my pressure was 11561 pulse 70. So with those numbers my pulse pressure was 54. What is your answer to this? Thank you Margo Westrlund  <response>: Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your question. I can understand your concern. Do not worry so much. Let me solve all your doubts. See, pulse pressure is the difference between systolic blood pressure higher readingand diastolic blood pressure lower readingFor e.g. If your Blood pressure is 12080 mm Hg, your pulse pressure is120-80 40 mm Hg.
