Is BP Of 111/49,safe?
I am a healthy 68 yr old male. Recently lost 17 pounds over 2 months using weight loss shakes and normal evening dinners. Now weigh 203. BP just read 111 over 49. It has been gradually decreasing while I've lost weight. I take Norvasc and HCTZ for high BP. Have been taking these for years. Is the 111 over 49 reading safe?

It is possible that weight loss has improved your blood pressure.
Recent evidences start to suggest that values like yours are linked to better outcomes (unless you have diabetes).
I would not be too much worried, unless the low blood pressure causes symptoms, such as dizziness.
