What numbers are considered low blood pressure?

Q: I went to the doctor after fainting a couple of weeks ago, and the doctor had my blood pressure checked. I had a blood pressure of 80 over 60. He didn’t say much about it, so I figured I’m fine. But I was talking to one of my friends, and she said that she had a higher blood pressure than I did, and her doctor told her that she has low blood pressure.So do I have low blood pressure? I need to know what number is considered low blood pressure.Some more information that may affect the answer:I am 14 1/2 years oldI weigh around 135 lbs (she probably weighs a little less)I am maleI am appx. anywhere from 5’6” to 5’10” (my friend is the same height)

A: 90/60 is considered Low. If it is consitently running that low, then it could be a problem. However, just happening once, it is probably nothing to worry about and is why the Dr. wasn’t too concerned. You can check it at home with an auto cuff from the drug store if you are worried, and let the Dr. know if it stays low.However, if you faint again and it is low and your Dr. still does not seem worried.. GET A SECOND opinion. It could be a sign of something more serious.

Do you think I’ll need a pacemaker?

Q: What is the chance I’ll need a pacemaker someday—I’m 24–5’8–140 lbs–eat very healthy, no sweets, limit of salt–whole wheat foods–started exercising 4 times a week. The only bad thing is I drink 1-2 times a week (on weekends)–and I smoke cigerettes while drinking which is on weekends–I’ve been trying to quit the binge drinking b/c I have aniexty (hence the question I’m asking) and the alcohol increases it. I don’t smoke unless i”m drunk but it’s still bad.Okay–my blood pressure is always low (well it’s normal for me b/c it’s always in same range, but for others it may be considered low)–and I can’t remember the numbers–my mom said it’s b/c I’m a relaxed person and don’t carry a lot of stress…anyways my pulse is usually mid 70’s (b/c I’m a hypocondriac I check it frequently).My question is what’s the chance of me needing a pacemaker someday? See, my maternal grandfather died of heart problems (he had two bypass surgeries–in his 60’s–but that was in the 80’s and my mom said things have greatly changed)…and my maternal grandmother has a pacemaker..so both of my mom’s parents have heart related problems….my dad’s parents do not have heart problems…Do you think that my low bp and my low pulse is an indicator that I will need a pacemaker someday? Is there a way I can increase my blood pressure? My number 1 fear is dying of a heart problem b/c it can happen in a blink of an eye and I won’t be able to say good-bye to anyone. Sorry if I’m rambling….I know this is a silly question but it’s always on my mind…I’ve been to the ER so many times that the next time I go they will make me stay overnight and I don’t want to take any aniexty medicine b/c I don’t like medicine in my body.:-/I think I’m worried that b/c I have low heartbeats and my bp is low that my heart isn’t pumping enough and it will just stop one day…it’s horrible.

A: Its hard to say if you’ll need a pacemaker someday. There is, however, no reason to suspect that your chances are greater than anyone else’s. You HR is normal. Don’t sweat it… there are worse things out there than a pacemaker anyway!Quit smoking… period. If you give a rat’s butt about health then this is what you ought to do.
