Is A Blood Pressure Reading Of 90/72 A Concern?

Posted on Mon, 18 Jul 2016

Question: I checked my blood pressure this morning and it was 90/72. is this normal

Answered by Dr. Sandip Kabra (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
90 systolic blood pressure is also normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Blood pressure reading 90/72 could be considered as normal clinically.

The normal of systolic pressure ranges between 90 to 140 mm hg and diastolic pressure 60 to 90 mm hg.

However,our systolic blood pressure fluctuates more than the diastolic one.

Means systolic pressure may get easily increased or decreased and get down to normal by itself or after taking rest.

Your diastolic pressure is completely normal. So,considering your diastolic blood pressure,it is very unlikely that you are having any blood pressure issue.

I would consider 90 systolic blood pressure as normal in case you do not have any clinical symptoms.

Further,I would suggest you to check blood pressure once in a day, initially for couple of days.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have more doubts.

I took .5 lorazepam on 6/23 at 4pm. I dont remember taking .5 lorazepam around 230 that same day. What should i do?

Answered by Dr. Sandip Kabra (31 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again,

I have read your query,

Since you have taken 0.5 mg lorazepam at 4:00 PM and you are in doubt of taking the same dose at 2:30 at the same day.

I would suggest you NOT to worry about it is you taken two dose by mistake,it will not create any problem. Check your blood pressure after 1 or 2 hour of taking it.

I took my bp at 830 this morning and it was 89/58. I took my bp just now and now its 101/77. Is the first one too low. I take .5 lorazepam every day. Will my med be a factor? I didnt drink that much water yesterday.

Answered by Dr. Sandip Kabra (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Both are normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
welcome again,

89/58 blood pressure and 101/77,both readings are clinically normal,so no need to worry.

As I told earlier,blood pressure is keep fluctuating,so if there is NO clinical symptoms then there is nothing concerned here.

Drinking more water will be helpful and 0.5mg lorazepam is very unlikely related to 89/58 pressure.

Dr.Sandip
