There's no pleasing me is there! Since the start of my training program last July where, you may remember, I had slightly raised blood pressure - it is now (just after training) 102/69 - am I dead??  |

Regular exercise can make it low, that's not too bad

This is off the BUPA site There is no recognised threshold for low blood pressure. If the first number (your systolic blood pressure) is lower than 100, your doctor may consider it to be low. However a blood pressure lower than this may be completely normal for some people, whereas others may experience symptoms of low blood pressure at a much higher level. It also depends a lot on individual factors: blood pressure is lower in young women and especially in pregnant women. It's therefore only considered to be a problem if you are having symptoms. ;D |
