Is Low Blood Pressure A Sign Of Good Health?

I exercise 5-6 days a week, run between 4-8 miles and or bike 10 15 miles, lift weights, and do core exercises. I have been doing these exercises for most of my life; however the pat 2 years I have maintained an extreme workout regimen. I recently had a physical to include an ekg and was told my blood pressure was low; 112/60 with a pulse of 45. I thought low blood pressure was a sign of good health. Am I at risk for being healthy?

Hello , the pulse rate if 45 is the testimonial of a well trained healthy heart . Also the mentioned blood pressure of 112 / 60 is nomral and it does not put you any any additional risk of heart problems . Kust keep good hydration during your workouts and do Carry on with your regular workout regime and by all means so no future heart problem should come .
Wishing you good health.
