Brief Answer:
Please provide more information, It warrants further evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
I really appreciate your concern
Diastolic blood pressure 44 is too low, I would advise you to recheck it
if it remains constantly low than It warrants detailed evaluation to find out underlying cause

Here I would like to know have you taken any medicines?
Your age and other medical history like diabetes or metabolic disease
Any significant past medical history like if you ever checked your blood pressure and found it low?

In my opinion you should take plenty of fluids orally and maintain good hydration
Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more accurately.
Best wishes

Hello Dr.BR Hudda

Thanks for the Reply.

My Age is 28 and there is no medical history as well. I am not on any medication.
The last thing I can remember is Typhoid in 2008 for which I was admitted.Nothing major after that.
I am a fit guy, Play sports Regularly and no signs of weakness or Low BP Symptoms

Brief Answer:
You need not to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again and thanks for the details
In my opinion it might be false recording
since you are leading a healthy lifestyle and and systolic blood pressure is normal
You need not to worry much about this,until you don't have any family history of heart disease

History of typhoid in 2008 can't be related to this so you need to be concerned about this
Just relax and lead a healthy life style of controlled and healthy eating, exercises and yoga.

I would advise you to get your blood pressure check again
