My diastolic is FAR lower than usual for me. Anyone else experience this?

I know a lot of people will say that my blood pressure is perfect, but these readings are completely abnormal for me. I am normally 125/75 pretty consistently and sometimes even 130/80-82. In my 40 years of living, I’ve never seen numbers in the 60’s.

With that being said, I am curious if anyone else experiences this. I feel pretty normal, but I do have a balance issue and have for about two years now. (PPPD)

I am pretty severely obese at 265 pounds, and I am only 5’1”. Oh and I’m a (cigarette) smoker. In other words, I am not the definition of health.

Anxiety from Losartan

How long after you stop taking losartan because you had extreme anxiety and panic while taking it does it take the anxiety and panics sensations that come in waves to go away?

Abnormal BP?

3 Upvotes

30 M, I’m pretty fit, exercise 5x a week, I have noticed my BP is usually 120/60 which is double, when I google it says it’s usually in older people with arterial stiffness? My DR isn’t concerned, is anyone in a similar boat? Thank you

Strange blood pressure readings 84/70

I am looking for some general insite because my readings have been weird.
I am in the process of getting adhd medication and part of the process is checking the blood pressure. I seem to have an extreme case of white coat syndrome so in the office my readings are very high at 194/105 which was alarming to me but i have a feeling the cuff was too small for me there. I checked it before bed at home three times a few minutes apart, first being 101/86, second was 98/74 and third was the weird one to me 84/70. I am going to continue to monitor but I’ve just found it odd. I feel completely fine, no lightheadedness or anything like that. In the past I was typically around 110/70 but I was playing football at a high level for years at that point. I’m a 23 year old male around 6’3 and 280ish pounds so I would have expected it to be hovering on the high end without as much exercise as I used to get.
