What Causes Low Blood Pressure?
Hi I am 61 years old female 161cm tall and weighing 72kg. My systolic is 141 and diastolic is 75. I have been known to have a low blood pressure of 90 over 60 but due to undue stress and pressures stopped seeing my doctor regularly. What does my bp indicate. Thank you so much for your help
