Blood pressure

[gibberj2]

My blood pressure is 130/52.  The 130 is borderline normal and the 52 seems very very low. Can anyone tell me something about this?

130/52 is in the normal range, what's considered normal varies across individuals.  Consistent readings above 140/90 indicate hypertension or high blood pressure.  Did you have it taken at the Doc's office or at a drug store (the one's where you put your arm/forearm in an self-automated inflating cuff)?

walmart. it was 130/52. in the drug store it was all over the place. 157/58, 137/56, 142/58.

But what's up with the low number?

Your diastolic pressure, the 52 is on the low-normal side, but not atypical.  Normal diastolic pressure for an average adult ranges from 45-85...not too worry.  Readings change all the time depending on various factors.

Not really.  If you're still concerned, get it checked by your Doc.
