    Average Temp. is a range of 96 to 99 depending on what your normal average is when your not sick. The books will say 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius.

    Average pulse is 60 -100 beats a min.

    Average respiration's are from 12-18 breaths a min. depending on your metabolism at that point and how well your lungs can get rid of carbon dioxide.

    Average blood pressure is 90/60 - 140/90

    Hope that helps.

    T 98.6 Pulse 60-120, Respirations 12-20, and Blood pressure varies but normal has been considered 120/80 for years and has recently been changed.

    These are normal values, because there is such a wide variable in the human factor of things, there is really not an "average" vital sign, only normal.
