A member asked:
I am 63 and havelow blood pressure. do i have an increased chance of having a pace maker someday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Having low blood pressure, if anything, would have a protective effect against heart disease, and lessen your likelihood of needing a pacemaker. Pacemakers are only needed for low heart rates, not low blood pressures.
