Hello Dr. Rynne, I am 72 yrs of age with COPD. I no longer smoke and I am seriously overweight. At least twice a month I have 2 or more days where I get up after a full nights sleep so tired BP runs at this time from 96 over 42 to 103 over 48. My next doctor appointment is not until the meddle o Sf May. Is my BP being this low dangerous? Suzanne

HI
Thanks for posting your query.
Your BP is quite normal so there is nothing to worry about . But still I recommend you to increase your water intake which will gradually increase your BP .
There are certain medications used which can bring down the BP . So kindly let me know what medications you are on so that some adjustments can be made.
ANy clarifications feel free to ask
