Hiya

Don't worry too much about low blood pressure- better that than having it too high with all the associated problems. The only real 'danger' with low BP is feeling faint, and in some cases, actually passing out. I'm not sure what the 'threshhold' is, but 100/65 I don't think thats VERY low.

I suggest you make sure you're eating well and see your GP for reassurance. You may need a blood test to check stuff like thyroid function.

Who tested your BP and pulse? Are you sure you haven't always had this and it's just 'the way you are'?

Hi have you been testing your self,or is this from your doctor?
