Hi
I used to have the3 perfect reading for BP as my doctor would say 120/80 then I had my oldest and after taht my bp went anywhere from 85/60-90-65. once in a while when I am very stressed it goes to 108/66 but that is rare. I am not treated for this and my doctor just says this could ahppen and at least it went down and not up.
good luck
michelle

Still like your car................. These numbers are not that low, optimal BP is now considered to be below 120/80. Low BP is under 90/50 and is usually not treated unless it is well below these numbers or causes symptoms like dizzines. I know that I have readings this low and low very often after exercise my numbers can get below 90/50 as so much of your blood gets pushed out to the capilliaries in your limbs and large muscle groups. FYI, I just checked mine a few minutes ago as I do every day at this time and it was 103/65, totally normal.

I would not worry about numbers like these, they look great, but if concerned run them by your doctor..

I hope this helps,

Jon
