What Does Blood Pressure Of 98/67 Mean?
I'm on Avapro 300 and two triamterene's a day. my blood pressure had been high but I'm currently working to get healthy and have dropped 30 lbs since August by eating better and working out at the gym 3-4 days a week. I just took my blood pressure cause I was feeling kind of tired and it was 98 over 67. Is this considered good or low?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your actual blood pressure values are below the normal ranges.
You should know that the loss of weight helps to naturally reduce the blood pressure.
That is why, you need to discuss with your doctor on the possibility of making some changes to your actual anti-hypertensive therapy (reduce the dose or even stop one of these drugs), because you do not need these doses to maintain a normal blood pressure now.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
