Is The Blood Pressure Too Low?
My blood pressure is 122 over 56...Is the 56 on the bottom too low? I'm 60 years old 5' 6 weight 150. I am currently only taking Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. I have glaucoma and take travatan and alphagan for the glaucoma. I take no other medications. My LDL is a 57 My HDL 61...My total cholesterol is 123 and my Triglycerides are 26...My last blood work was done on Nov. 2, 2010. Glucose on a fast was a 92...So my only concern is the 56 Diastolic too low? Thank You....

Hi
Great numbers there!
No, a 56 diastolic is fine in your case and obviously your total blood pressure is in the excellent range
