A member asked:
60 year old woman with very low blood pressure on low-salt diet (by choice). good idea or is that a problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not problem: Low blood pressure is not considered as serious as high blood pressure, assuming you do not have symptoms. A normal blood pressure is when the reading is 120/80. Anything below those numbers is considered low. There is no specific blood pressure reading that is considered dangerously low, as it can vary with different individuals.
