Anxiety and Stress Forum - Low Diastolic Pressure???

I have a home blood pressure monitor and recenty the readings have been somewhere around 112/63. Is it normal for the bottom reading to be this low in a 16 year old? I know that the normal difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures (pulse pressure) should be around 40, so this is worrying me. Thank you for any advice.
