Good day, I have a very very low blood preasure and was wondering if anyone out their has one just as low and what you were told about it. What are some of the possible consequences to having a low blood preasure?
Just to let you know my BP is 89/59

Okay, first of all, the "normal" bp is suppose to be around 120-140 / 70-90
There are a few people in this world that run lower than the norm, you included, and that is fine. This is normal for you as long as you are feeling fine. No headaches or dizziness or such things like that.
I do have a friend that has low blood pressure like you and she is very active.
There is nothing wrong with you and there are no health risks. That's just your normal bp

I found this info from:
http://www.medicinenet.com/low_blood_pressure/article.htm
Blood pressure is the pressure of blood within the arteries of the body. Blood pressure is the driving force that causes blood to flow through the body from the arteries (where the pressure is high), through organs, and into the veins (where the pressure is low). Blood pressure is generated by the pumping of blood by the heart into the arteries as well as by the resistance to the flow of blood by the arteries. The systolic blood pressure (the top number) represents the pressure in the arteries as the muscle of the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. The diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) represents the pressure in the arteries as the muscle of the heart relaxes after it contracts.
Systolic blood pressure for most healthy adults falls between 90 and 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Normal diastolic blood pressure falls between 60 and 80 mm Hg. (By convention, an individual’s blood pressure is written as systolic/diastolic blood pressure, e.g., 120/80). Current guidelines define normal blood pressure as lower than 120/80. Blood pressures between 120/80 and 140/90, which used to be considered “pre-hypertension,” now are considered too high. High blood pressure increases the risk of developing heart disease, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis), eye damage, and stroke.

Wow! That is low. Mine is 110/68. My supervisor's wife has real low pressure like yours and she passes out from it. She has to eat a lot of salty foods and drinks to keep her pressure up some.

The consequences depend. If this has always been your blood pressure, probably nothing. IF its decreaces it can cause to the feel faint, especially if you get up quickly. Get old records to see if there's been a change.

Everyone is different. I think it goes by your age,weight,etc.Your best bet would be to contact a doctor if you are concerned about it.
