What Does BP Of 102/73 Indicate?
Question: Hi I'm a little worried about my blood pressure its normally 120/80 and the last few days its been around 102/73 should I worry?
Brief Answer:
Not to worry yet
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have read your query
If you have been asymptomatic, I would not worry about the blood pressure just yet.
Your blood pressure, though lower than your usual normal, is still within the normal limits.
I should also inform you that the low fluid intake and food intake (in case you are on a diet) can also affect the blood pressure in a similar fashion.
I will suggest plenty of fluids, juices and a re check of blood pressure thereafter before I start worrying about the blood pressure.
best of luck
