My diastolic sometimes goes down to 63.is it dangerous?my avg. bp 126/72 , map- 90, bpm-64, and body wt.-61kgs, i am 68 yrs. old.suffer drop beats.

Blood pressure: No, the numbers you report seem pretty good, and an occasional diastolic reading in the 60's is not something to be concerned about if you otherwise feel ok. I will take it that you do not have any valvular disease, as aortic regurgitation can sometimes cause particularly low diastolic numbers.
