That's fine buddy: "How long should your legs be? Long enough to reach the ground." If you feel well and can keep up in sports, your blood pressure is fine, no matter how low. Sorry that you could't donate; that's to cover liability for people who might actually be super-nervous, addisonian, or in shock for some reason. Drink plenty of water next time you go in. Best wishes, thanks for trying.
