I was told by my Dr. to make a diary of my high blood pressure tests. In doing so for the past two years I have had some fluctuations in my readings. I started out in the 150/82+ range. Now that I am on Lisinopril for most of the last two years I have noticed a significant droop in my readings. My average readings are now below 120/70 and dropping. My question is; just how low can my readings get before I m in danger on the other end of the scale. I have registered many readings as low as 105/65 several time just in this last week alone?
Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern I would like to explain that this is a normal blood pressure and during staying or relaxing, it is normal to have such values. I would recommend you to continue on this therapy, as long as you have a controlled high blood pressure and no other complaints. If you feel like fainting or lightheaded and your blood pressure goes lower than 90/60\u00a0mm Hg I recommend you to consult with your cardiologist and consider a change in the therapy. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!
