I'm just curious as to what everyone's blood pressure is.
The last time I had mine checked it was 96/56.

I had it checked two days ago & it was 100/70.
It usually falls somewhere between 110/70 and 90/60, depending on the day.

[One lady told me "almost too low" - I asked what the heck she meant and she just asked if I had any problems. I said no, and she said "I guess you'll be fine then" what? nice reassurance there!
lol. I have had almost that exact same experience myself! I think that our healthcare professionals have been so conditioned to diagnose and treat complications at the other end of the spectrum that they are at a loss for how to respond. The only negative symptoms I've noticed are getting a bit dizzy if I stand up too fast. I guess if we're not having significant symptoms and our doctors aren't waving red flags, we probably don't have anything to worry about. Maybe we're just extra-healthy. :P

I have high blood pressure and am on meds for it. It was running up to 160/120! Now after being on 3 different medicines, the 4th once is finally working, now I run about 120/80. ;)b

I'm at 99/56 and happy with it. Low, but not too low.
