Is Blood Pressure Value Of 108/57 A Cause For Concern?
Question: I am 73 on blood pressure med because pressure was usually 185 been monitored for 21 days tonight it is 108 over 57 isn't that too low n
Brief Answer:
Not to worry
Detailed Answer:
Greetings. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
Normal blood pressure figures, accepted for the worldwide populatione are: 100-139 mmHg systolic, and 60-89 mmHg diastolic. Every figure encompassed within this range is considered normal. Depending on the organism and the medication on which a person is, a +/- 10 mmHg is almost always tolerated. Therefore, my opinion is that you have nothing to worry about. Not to mention that blood pressure can fluctuate within extreme ranges even in people without hypertension. However, it should be stressed that, if with these figures you provided, there are additional symptoms such as dizziness, blurry vision, fatigue, you should consult your cardiologist, who prescribed the perindopril/indapamide, and have the dosage or frequency of taking adjusted.
I hope my answer is helpful. I am happy to help, if you have follow-up questions. Please rate the answer, if you do not.
Best regards,
