Mine used to be 140/85 in January and is now 115/75 typically. I mean, if you're typically at that number then sure - your body has acclimated to it, basically. Well I had pre-diabetic issues at that point and hypertension was one side effect, but I've since then changed my diet and lifestyle around completely. If your BP is low then I'd recommend uptaking more salt in the diet, maybe some potassium too to help it out, that'll help you retain water and balance out blood circulation a bit better, and takes care of any headaches, migraines, fatigue, etc. I've got issues on the opposite end of the scale, actually. I take blood pressure medication to lower it, because I naturally sit around 160-180, unchecked. I remember one time I was getting ready for chemo, and the nurses stopped it because I clocked in at around 210/whatever and that was essentially heart attack territory. It was that high because I had worked myself into a bad mood that morning. I had to really pee, and of course they make you give a urine sample every time before chemo, and normally they're really on the ball and quick about getting me admitted but I remember it taking an unusually long time, like several hours. So, I'm just sitting there, trying to not piss on myself, getting madder and madder at everybody lol and my blood pressure sky rockets as a result. --- "Tried to point my finger, but the wind was blowing me around in circles, circles." <cite>EverDownward posted [p:928253247] in those bloo...
