What is considered low blood pressure?

What can cause low blood pressure and is this reading considered low?

  • I'm 9 weeks post partum and at the end of my pregnancy my blood pressure was elevated - 140/100 - however it didn't turn into anything dangerous - now it seems my blood pressure is low!? 90/57 - it doesn't stay there - that was the lowest it read - it's normally around 90/65 - is this to low? Apparently my blood pressure is normally 100/65 according to my Dr - I have yet to go see the Dr about it - at my last appointment it was 120/80 but I have white coat syndrome - I have a BP monitor at home - which I'm considering throwing out as it's making me so paranoid and giving me anxiety. Can exhaustion lower your blood pressure? I am dizzy - but I've taken my BP whilst Im dizzy and it's never as low as the reading I got today and I felt fine then - now I"m paranoid and keep taking it every hour! Thanks for your help!

  • Answer:

    Don't worry. Your blood pressure range varies all day long. Right now you're caring for a baby and recovering from pregnancy, so you can expect to see swings in your blood pressure. I'd recommend taking your blood pressure once a day at the same time and under similar conditions. Over time you will learn what is a normal range for you. Taking your blood pressure several times a time can give confusing results.

Wow....time to relax! Mine has been all over the place...90/60, 100/58 etc etc...then higher depending on situation. All very NORMAL. Why are you stressing about it? If you get dizzy, simply sit down and put your head between your legs to get blood to head. Also Ginger and Cayenne can help normalize blood pressure...so either get some capsules or one or the other to take -unless you are breast feeding, as cayenne will upset baby. Maybe Instead drink some ginger tea a couple times a day. Yes being tired can affect BP...but not overly so. Assuming you aren't anemic or anything like that...try to relax and give your mental health a rest from worry!
