HOW LOW CAN A PERSON'S BLOOD PRESSURE GO BEFORE THEY DIE?
Brief Answer:
Can't be estimated how near death you are.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The blood pressure results you already had are really low diastolic 51/40 mmhg . We consider low blood pressure diastolic below 60 mmhg.
This doesn't mean that you were closed to death neither can be estimated how close you were to death.
You have just to keep hydrated and monitor it often
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
