Is BP Of 95/42 With In Normal Range?

I went to the dentist yesterday and they took my blood pressure with a wrist pressure cup, and it was 95/42. Is this too low of a bottom number? I am 48 yrs old and probably 25 pounds overweight. In the past I have been 95/65 but 42 yesterday seemed a bit low???

Hi.
Welcome.
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
This bp is absolutely normal for you untill you have symptoms of low bp like giddiness, persistent weakness. You do not need any treatment for it. Just take adequate fluid with some extra salt in diet.
Thanks
