My normal blood pressure is 100/60, or thereabouts. It is completely normal in my case. My whole family has low blood pressure.

I have low blood pressure all the time. My grandmother had low blood pressure and so does my mom. It may just be that you naturally have low blood pressure. Mine barely goes up, even during a severe panic attack...it usually just goes to average if anything.

Do you have a family history of low blood pressure? Its not bad, it worried me until my doc told me its much better than having high blood pressure and the only real symptoms can be dizziness and seeing spots if you get up too quickly.
