Is Blood Pressure Of 118/50 A Cause For Concern?
Question: I AM TAKING NORVASC 5 MGMS IN PM ROSUSAVASTIN 10 HA MGMS ON MON WED AND FRI plus CoQ10 FOR HYPERTENSION .MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS GONE FROM 213]93 TO 118 \50 IS THIS TOO LOW?
Brief Answer:
Not very low, it's good control
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Systolic is important one. Low diastolic will not be problematic. 118 systolic is good control and not a low blood pressure. Just keep on monitoring blood pressure, we don't want it go below 110 in you.
I assume there are no symptoms like dizziness or fainting etc. If blood is going down then we can decrease the dose to 2.5.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
