Key Blood Vitals and What They Mean
1. Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is expressed as two numbers: systolic (pressure when the heart contracts) and diastolic (pressure when the heart relaxes).
2. Heart Rate
Resting heart rate reflects how efficiently your heart is working.
Measured using a pulse oximeter, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) should generally be 95–100% .
Blood sugar levels indicate how well your body is managing energy.
5. Cholesterol & Lipid Profile
Blood cholesterol is vital for cell function but dangerous in excess.

1. Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is expressed as two numbers: systolic (pressure when the heart contracts) and diastolic (pressure when the heart relaxes).
- Normal: 120/80 mmHg
- Elevated: 120–129 systolic, <80 diastolic
- Hypertension Stage 1: 130–139 / 80–89
- Hypertension Stage 2: ≥140 / ≥90
2. Heart Rate
Resting heart rate reflects how efficiently your heart is working.
- Normal range: 60–100 beats per minute (bpm)
- Athletes: Often between 40–60 bpm due to stronger cardiovascular fitness.
- Persistent high heart rate may suggest stress, dehydration, thyroid imbalance, or heart disease.
Measured using a pulse oximeter, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) should generally be 95–100% .
- Below 90% indicates hypoxemia, which can be life-threatening.
- Conditions like asthma, COPD, pneumonia, or sleep apnea can lower oxygen levels.
Blood sugar levels indicate how well your body is managing energy.
- Fasting glucose: 70–99 mg/dL (normal)
- Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: ≥126 mg/dL
5. Cholesterol & Lipid Profile
Blood cholesterol is vital for cell function but dangerous in excess.
- Total cholesterol: <200 mg/dL (ideal)
- LDL (“bad” cholesterol): <100 mg/dL
- HDL (“good” cholesterol): >60 mg/dL
- Triglycerides: <150 mg/dL
