A question asked by <3: What are the risks of low and high blood pressure?
I just recently went to the doctor and they said that my blood pressure is fairly low..are there any health risks for having kind of low blood pressure? And what about high blood pressure?
BTW I’m asking about women’s blood pressure, if that makes any difference.

Answer by Emzehy Mcgillivray
high blood pressure is not good and neither is low blood pressure. i do not know alot about low blood pressure but i suffer from white cell hypertension which means my blood pressure reads as very high, when it infact is just a fear of hospitals, when your blood pressure is very high you are more in risk of heart attacks and death.
If you know better then please let us know below.
No difference between men and women. High blood pressure can lead to stroke and heart attack if not treated. Low blood pressure can lead to syncope (fainting). Usually if it’s low, it’s easier to deal with. Make sure you keep yourself very well hydrated. Being dehydrated can lead to an increased heart rate and low blood pressure as well. Excessive vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration. Some people have naturally lower pressures. Mine have been around 100/50 or 90/50 or so. That is acceptable. Anything around 70-80 over 30-40 is getting dangerous.
