Fluctuating blood pressure levels. Should I be concerned about low BP?
I am concerned about my blood pressure , recently I have a diastolic reading in the low 50 s and has actually dipped slghtly below 50 at times. I have a cuff because I normally have high blood pressure. I have a pacemaker, and am taking metoprolol 50 mg daily. The low pressure is very recent and I m not certain if I should be concerned or not.

Thank you for your query.
Your diastilic BP is 50 mm of hg.
It is not so low from normal level.
It is a frequent findings in our daily practice.
But you should concern about this because you are a pacemaker implanted patient.
Metoprolol was probably prescribed you for prevention of arrhythmia.
But it is also a BP lowering agent.
It is better for you to consult your doctor.
Take care.
