High blood pressure: What is name of your 25mg blood pressure pill? Yes, you can make your blood pressure too low by giving too many drugs or incorrect doses. That's why we typically don't treat unless your BP is greater than 140/90 (150/90 in elderly), and then only to just below those parameters. Getting too aggressive isn't good for patients who can suffer side effects such as low blood pressure & fainting.
