Low Blood Pressure

[VORTIME]

Hi,

Reading on from the "High Blood Pressure" post, I went for a fitness assesement to be told I had a low blood pessure!

It was 108 over something I think and was told it should be in the region of 120. Anyone know what the consequences, remedies or cautions for such are?

Anyone know what the consequences, remedies or cautions for such are?

If you're fit, healthy and asymptomatic, there are no adverse consequences at all. In fact, it's almost certainly a good thing and shows you're fit.

Low blood pressure in disease states is generally a manifestation of end-stage disease, such as severe cardiac failure or is caused by drugs such as ACE Inhibitors. Anyone going for a 'fitness' assessment is not going to have any such condition.
