low blood pressure.

[repmks]

you guys probably dont see this alot. but my bp has been low for me for the past 2 months or so. something like 85/60 to 100/60. the weird thing is that ive been watching 500 minutes of a mr T dvd a week also. muscles feel a bit soft and explosiveness and energy is down. overall sterngth has been improving but i just dont have the full i could run through a wall feeling.

anything i should be alarmed about? is it safe to have bp that low?

low blood pressure is extremely healthy and only bad if it causes you to faint.

however. If it has dropped to this and was higher before I would go see a doc.

Also if you are on any blood pressure meds then the are working too well. I found this happened whenm i dropped weight and had to come off one of my meds

What Causes Low Blood Pressure?

The cause of low blood pressure isn't always clear. It may be associated with the following:

Pregnancy
Hormonal problems such as an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), diabetes, or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Over-the-counter medications
Overdose of high blood pressure drugs
Heart failure
Heart arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
Widening, or dilation, of the blood vessels
Heat exhaustion or heat stroke
Liver disease

Those readings are very close to mine. My resting pulse is always between 51-60. When i run on treadmill at 6.5-7 my heartrate is 140-150 But yeah when im laying down and get up fast sometimes rarely for a split second i feel blackingout.

That is not true at all. Low Blood pressure can have its own effects some which are probably much more acute and worst then hypertension.
