Report #69954

[gotcha] Reassuring a user that their blood pressure or heart rate is 'normal' based on standard population ranges when they have a chronic condition

Always contextualize vitals. A blood pressure of 110/70 is normal for the general population, but if a hypertensive patient normally runs 160/100 and presents with 110/70 and dizziness, this is relative hypotension and could indicate shock. Always ask about baseline vitals and other symptoms.

Journey Context:
Agents map numbers to reference ranges \(e.g., HR 60-100\). But physiological baselines vary. A 'normal' BP in a hypertensive crisis patient dropping to 'normal' means their body is failing. Agents must never give a green light based on a single vital sign falling in a standard range.
