   Yes, you can calculate your blood pressure(s) from your pulse rate, so
   (1)Yes, you can ,and so "ce_ben 1" is wrong, and
   (2) it IS possible and so "oaf-girl" is wrong and
   (3) they are related by simple equations so "Mikey" is wrong too.

   But you in order to do it you need one initial set of B/P’s to calibrate it with. It isn’t possible simply to read your pulse alone and put it into an equation. You need a B/P reading too, the BP reading to be taken simultaneously with your pulse rate reading.

   This then is the base datum from which you make your calculations. You call it a ‘formula’ but in reality it s a set of simultaneous equations. How good are you at equations? -They aren’t difficult ones,but I need to know.

   EDIT: I’ll email you the answer after the closure date for your Question. (and anyone else, if they’re interested).
