When Is Low Blood Pressure Considered a Problem? Posted: 03-09-04 08:03am
I am a 39 year old female. Can anyone
tell me when low blood pressure is
considered a problem? I have been having
some chest pain that radiates from middle
left chest to shoulder blade and down my
arm. When I take my blood pressure it is
anywhere between 90/60 to 78/54. My heart
rate is between 58-85, never high. I know
high blood pressure & heart rate is a
problem, but have never heard anything
about low. Should I be concerned?
Thanks,
josie

Yes, you should be concerned it is too
low. The only thing I can suggest (&
this is only temporary as you must be
checked out to find out the cause) is that
you have lots of salt. If you have high
blood pressure you avoid salt, but low
blood pressure (which I have always had)
is helped by salt.
