Is my blood pressure too low?

Mine is 110/70.

I am telling the truth about my condition. I would never make something like this up. You just can't explain it like the doctors couldn't. It wasn't funny being told that they couldn't figure out what was wrong and didn't think I would survive. It didn't just happen once either.

Good numbers, Darlin' . . .

When I get nervous and/or am sick, it goes up to 125/80. That and I fart a lot.

This little brown dog farts a lot, too . . . maybe you two should get together . . .

I never really asked, but my doctor had said I have that my blood pressure is low - I noted that once because one time after they took my blood pressure the nurse was alarmed - your rate is very high. I guess I probably hurried to my appointment because I was late - I pretty much ran as my office was walking distance to the doctor.

They let me rest for a bit and then it went to what is "normal" for me. I don't eat much salt at all and drink lots of water. I was wondering because this was taken at the dentist (I have some minor surgery with the dentist so he took my pressure and I peeked at the computer and thought - that seems low).

Love the chart - so I am borderline normal for a child.

So we are the same +/-5

A BP of 115/65 is not low, it's normal. One could argue that the diastolic is lower than usuall, but it's well within the normal range. Unless you are experiencing unexplained and alarming or uncomfortable sensations, this is a meaningless reading. By the way, dentists generally don't employ nurses. They employ dental assistants, whose training does not at all compare to what is required for a registered nurse.

The reason i mentioned getting a BP history from your physician's nurse is to establish what is your normal range--to know if you usually fall within this range. At no time did i suggest that this was anything but a normal range.

Does the farting help your pressure? You would almost think so - the release of all that pressure.

When I speaking of the nurse, I was referring to when I was at my doctor's office - not the dentist - this was the first time my dentist took my bp.

How about my heart rate - it was 72.

I normally wouldn't post part of my medical records, but I telling the truth. Sorry it is upside down. I scanned it and just didn't bother to do it again. If interested just take it and rotate it. There are 100's of pages I am going through so I just picked these.

That's in a normal range, too. One would only expect the pulse to be significantly lower than that in a highly conditioned athlete. Below 60 is probably too low, over 100 is too high.

There is your proof Setanta. Not everything is explainable.

I will leave aside the obvious objection that no one here has any basis upon which to assure themselves that what you've posted actually refers to you. What you posted doesn't confirm your story. Fortunately, i can read things which are upside-down. It says that this individual's initial BP was 128/83, well within normal range. It then says that the BP dropped to 77/35, not 67/33 and dropping. Nothing in what you posted suggested that the attending physician feared for this individual's life, nor had made a prognosis that this individual had 12 hours to live.

Here, let me shout this, since it doesn't appear to have sunk in:

THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

must be all that garlic I eat.

You are an ass Setanta.

and apologies to Linklat

Linkat, 115/65 and a pulse of 72 are normal. Whether or not you eat garlic, those are normal numbers. Those numbers tell you nothing about the efficacy of any dietary regime you follow. Whether or not those are normal for you could only be determined by consulting your medical history.
