Is Blood Pressure Of 106/67 Abnormal?
I am a 60 year old female and this morning I took one of my blood pressure medicines within 15 hours of last taking it. It was my nifedipine 60 mg. I also took my losartan 100 mg at the same time but that was the normal time in the morning to take losartan for me. I m supposed to take my nifedine at night and losartan in the morning. I used to take the two in the morning. My doctor switched nifedipine to the evening because it made me feel anxious. Now my BP today for the past 3 hours has been 106/67. Is this dangerous?
