Need to treat low BP?
Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Apr 28 2009
Q: I am 81 years old. My BP reading is 110/55. I go for a regular fast walk for one hour at about 120 paces per minute. And then follow up with free standing exercises, for about one hour. Do I need to take any corrective medication for the lower BP reading of 55?
A: You are walking for an hour and doing free standing exercises without problem. Your blood pressure is staying within a good range. Based on this, you appear to be in good cardiovascular health. However, you should discuss your concerns with your doctor.
