Hello the blood pressure reading mentioned are considered low particularly when you are taking blood pressure medications . So a review with your doctor to decrease the dose and titer your blood pressure medication regime is justified in your case . Optimum pressure range should be man tinned atleast above 110 / 70 for beat health benefits. If you are not on any nitrate based medication then you can safely take viagra , however if you are taking any likewise medication viagra is contra indicated. Last viagra can further decrease the blood pressure and so adequate hydration is justified. Regards Dr Priyank Mody
