I just lost a ton of weight (over 100 lbs) got in shape, I am not a total athlete but I can walk a loooong damn way without feeling it. I am in my early 30's and female. No history of heart disease, people in my family live a looong time...Think I am ok? I know pressure varies with each person but for a healthier, non fat person, isnt that a TAD low?

BTW I am 5'7"
Thank you for the kudos on my weight loss, it's been a HARD ROAD but I intend to stay this way. I had to stay immobile the entire time I was pregnant with my son, hence I got heavy.. It's nice to look good again! That picture on my profile REALLY is of me!
Thank you all, it's going to be REALLY hard to pick a best answer..

Congrats on your weight loss!!! Unless you are dizzy or lightheaded than your blood pressure is probably your new "normal". I'm 5'4" and 130 lbs. My pressure is usually around 90 / 60. As long as you are healthy, I wouldn't worry about it. Ask your doc if it fluctuates. Let him know your concern.

I've never heard of any life threatening consequences of having low blood pressure. It doesn't feel too pleasant, but as far as I understand, low blood pressure by itself isn't dangerous. Many people with hypertonia will envy you. Actually, 99 over 60 is somewhat on the lower end, but is still normal, just as the nurse said.

Well, my sister is the epidemy of health, 36 years old, 4' 11" eats only nature foods, no junk, etc, probably weighs less the 100 pounds and her blood pressure is about 90/60. Her doctor doesn't see anything wrong with it. Mine is 120/70 and I'm what my husband considers overweight. So... who knows. Bring it to your doctors attention and see what he/she thinks. :)
PS: Congrats on the weight loss!

It's not too bad, if you have been told that it's low, it's not too low, my blood pressure usually runs a little low,I'm not active. I think it usually runs something like 130/80. I check it now & then because high b.p. runs on my mother's side of the family. The meds. I have to take for my seziure disorder may help keep it down too.
Don't worry abt your b.p. unless it gets too low, which you may not have trouble there.

Your blood pressure is fine. If it were to drop BELOW 90/60, and you were having dizziness/fainting spells - then it would be a definite concern.
Congratulations on the weight loss! You go girl!

No that is absolutely perfect. BP is only low when you have problems staying conscious. Mine was 90/50 at that age, although it has crept up some, last time I took it was something like 118/64.
How divine for you, congrats on the getting in shape. Just keep up the good work, don't backslide.

ur blood pressure is between the optimal and normal for under 18's and athletes....so it might be somewat low but still within normal
It is only in a tiny minority of people with low blood pressure, ie, readings below
90/60 mmHg....this is another site
so i guess u can say ur on the edge of normal ;)

120/80 is considered normal. and yes blood pressure varies among people and even in one person it varies over the course of the day. As long as you aren't having fainting and dizziness problems i wouldn't worry about it. low blood pressure like that means your body is in good shape.
