How Low Is Too Low For Blood Pressure For Someone Who Is Almost 70 years Old?

@Guardian If she had previous hypertension and on meds, her reading is very low for her system she's used to.

@Guardian No I am not athletic. I’ve had a serious health issue this past year but finished treatments and will have surgery within about 6 weeks to finish it. I felt good enough today to go do some cleaning for someone and had been busy for over an hour when I drove over to Sam’s Club to get a rotisserie chicken and a couple of other things for our lunch. I feel a whole lot better than I did last week, let’s put it that way. Maybe that has affected my blood pressure.

@Guardian About 35 years ago I went to a health fair at work and they had test for lung capacity. I had to blow into a tube to measure it. It was the first time I ever got this test. I could hear the two testers getting excited and telling me to keep blowing. I did and when it was finished they said they had aerobic trainers tested that didn’t test as high as my reading. I worked hard is why. Never got into sports but I did use my energy to work hard and did most all of my life.

@NativePortlander1970 Might be because I’ve lost a lot of weight this past year. I gained about 15 pounds of it back starting in January because I got my appetite back. Then I started treatments again right after Memorial Day for 6 weeks and lost about half of that. I think that might be one reason on top of quitting coffee that it has gone down.

@cherokeepatti Mine is due to aortic valve regurgitation, my blood leaks back into the chamber, thus raising bp quite significantly.
