Ummmm…
Whether you agree or disagree, why not leave your own thoughts below.
Considering the normal is 120/80. Then no, it’s terrible.
that’s a bit to low it should be about 125/78
What’s normal is what is normal for you. If you feel fine with no changes and have discovered this is your pressure than probably not a big deal, if you aren’t feeling well and this isn’t your usual then it is a problem. Sometimes you are a little dehydrated and the pressure can drop slightly. Try increasing fluids for a few days and see what happens. If that doesn’t help or this isn’t your usual you need to see the doc.
A very good site for health information for people (especially woman our age) is http://www.realage.com
It’s a site run by doctor Dr. Oz. This is not spam and it’s free.
He’s the doctor who was on Oprah and now has his own show.
