Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi i would like to know why does the BP of a 29 year old female goes up and down. Sometimes it even goes to 100 over 60. My normal at the beginning of the year was always 120 over 80. Also there is a racing pulse as well. Can somone please answer my question.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that these blood pressure fluctuations are quite normal in every healthy individual.
You should know that they are related to our body state and position (active, sleeping, sitting, laying down, eating, anxiety, etc.). Dehydration can also cause low blood pressure.
But, you should know that it is quite normal to have lower blood pressure values in sitting or lying down position and higher values during physical activity or standing up position.
As long as you don't have any symptoms like blurring vision, dizziness or lightheadedness, there is nothing to worry about.
Hope to have clarified some of your uncertainties!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
