Not sure if this relates to cardiac
issues, I suppose it could?? I am a 36
year old male, 5'10, 210, so definitely
overweight.
My blood pressure (until recently) has
always been good, usually 120/85 or
120/75. However, I went to the doctor
last week and noticed that it was 95/60,
very unusual. The doctor didn't seem
concerned but i'm thinking this isn't
right.
I purchased one of those blood pressure
monitors (the arm band, not the wrist) at
walgreens early this week and i've noticed
that it continues to stay quite low,
usually 100/70, sometimes lower. I
realize in a person who is a regular
exerciser and is in good shape, this would
be ideal but I am definitely not that
person! I'm wondering what could cause
something like this.
I went to a cardiologist last year,
because of some chest pain and had a
nuclear stress test with a nuclean scan,
both were normal with the exception of a
small defect involving the mid-anterior
wall that spares the septum and the apex,
or so I read. The doctor later
ascertained that this was more likely due
to technical factors and when he actually
showed me the scan in my follow up, the
defect was gone??
I don't know if any of that is related, or
if it means anything when it comes to
hypotension. Any thoughts on what could
cause this would be appreciated. I've
had some lightheadedness but this has been
going on (off and on) for a while now,
long before my bp went way down.
Thanks in advance!

blood sugar levels may have an effect on
blood pressure. what kind of food do you
eat?
