Title: Blood pressure
Post by: gibberj2 on June 07, 2006, 07:16:51 AM: 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)?

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.
