Hello. Thank you for your question. Welcome to HCM. I wıll try to address your concern.
First, your age would have helped. Internationally, blood pressure fıgures standardızed as normal are 100-139/60-89 mmHg. These readings do not seem so low as they look. You should be aware that blood pressure is a variable that is target to constant changes in psychological, physiological and hormonal states in the human organism, and it can fluctuate in every human body. I do not have information to what circumstances you had your blood pressure measured, but every action that can cause arteries to dilate, can also lower the blood pressure. Since these figures are worrisome to you, I would suggest you to be put on a 24-hour blood pressure monitor, a machine attached to your body, and periodically measuring your blood pressure. I think we can get more accurate figures by this action. When the readings are back, you can clarify them with your cardiologist or feel free to ask again. Last, but not least, if you do not experience any symptoms, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness etc., when these figures are registered, my opinion is that there is nothing to worry about.
I hope I was helpful with my asnwer. Take care.
Greetings,
Dr. Meriton
