Too low blood pressure? 99/74?


Question:
just for curious thought, i checked my blood pressure today at the mall...it was 99 over 74. i thought that seems pretty low. im 21 year old male and weight only about 130lbs, so im pretty skinny. im pretty active.about an hour later i cheked it again and it was 117 over 74.

is it normal for blood pressure to be in them ranges?

Answers:
Your blood pressure is fine. You may feel a little light headed when you stand up, but other wise, your pressure is fine. It is better to have it a bit low than too high. As you've found out, blood pressure can fluctuate. As long as you feel fine, don't worry about it.
Yeah man, dont worry about it as long as it doesnt go high or the bottom number (diastolic) is greater than the upper number (systolic). If it is routinely over 120/80 talk to your doctor.
Blood pressure has a tendancy to fluctuate. The fact that you checked it at the mall and it was low is really good! A low bloodpressure is always better low than high. My pressure has run low like yourself all my life. The only thing it may possably do is cause you to get tired easy or feel sluggish. It may cause you to feel dizzy at times when you get up to fast from laying down or sitting. Your pressure is not excessively low in fact thats a very good reading. Be proud! The change in it when you checked it later is that fluctuation I was telling you about. Maybe you were walking of course at the mall and the mall is exciting! normal is 120/80. You doing well. If it starts to get high is when you need to worry. If it got to low you would know it because it can make you lay down. It will make you very tired and it can disorient you. My son had that happen due to med reaction and had to be hospitalized. Your pressure is very good! Good health to you!
It's great to have low blood pressure. Mine is always between 95-105 over 60-70. I'm thin too. Anything over 140 over 90 is high. But no one has ever told me mine is too low. If one number is lower than 90 over 50 (either one) that is considered too low. :)
no it isn't too low. While I was pregnant my BP ran 95/60 and my docor made little jokes about wheter I was alive or not, and said that it was ok and not to worry.
that's normal... mine tends to be closer to 90/40 (and drops to 60/20 when I stand up sometimes...)
