Blood pressure 86/41. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: Numbers are just numbers... and mean little without context (without knowing the big picture). 86/41 is normal for younger children. It is too low for a person who gets lightheaded from low blood pressure. It is too low for adults. Whether it's dangerous depends on what the person's usual blood pressure is, how fast the pressure changes happened, and whether there are symptoms or past disorders.
