Yes (qualified): If BP is checked sitting and standing, and it does not fall with standing, a BP of 105/72 is normal. If one is dehydrated, the BP could fall below 100 systolic, which could be associated with lightheadedness or even fainting. The value of taking the BP sitting and standing is in its provision of information on the status of one's intravascular volume (state of hydration).
