If you are a young girl that is perfectly normal and please don't measure your blood pressure at home. Forget about it and enjoy your life unless of course you are feeling unwell in any ways
Don't worry about it! Perfectly normal

You don't give your age. But generally speaking, yes that is kinda lower than it ought to be. Some people do have a t endency for their blood pressure to be on the low side, but in many cases, it can be just as dangerous as blood pressure that is too high. The only way to get it sorted out is to see a doctor for an e valuation of your general health and circulatory system.. The last words you ever want to hear from a doctor, I promise you, is "If only you had seen a doctor sooner, we could have dealt with this problem." There may not be a "problem" but how will you know if you don't go to a doctor and find out?

The 92 is too low, the 60 is a touch low, best go and get your gp to take it to make sure everything is ok. I have to take mine everyday at home, for medical reasons. If you have to take it again, sit down for 10 mins then take it. Some nurses ask you then to stand up and take it again, if there is a big drop you need to get it checked out. I took mine and it was 134/88 but I have had a kidney transplant, and I am on tablets to keep my BP down as it was alot higher than that.

it is a little low but if you are tired or going through a hard time that is normal. As long as you feel well otherwise. If you start getting dizzy spells or fainting, then that is the sign that it is too low for your body to cope with. Some people have a blood pressure like yours always without problems. Keep an eye on it, getting it checked regularly.

I believe you have no reason to be concerned, unless you feel light-headed, dizzy, or strange in some other way.
I've heard health care workers say they would like to have blood pressure in the range you're talking about.
I suggest, however, that you calibrate your blood pressure monitor with the one in your doctor's office. Sometimes there's a big difference between the two. Also, mention your 92/60 to your doctor.

You should really go to your docs and get it done properly. Ive got the one that you do at home and its different everytime! The top reading should be in the hundreds but the lower number is the one theyre concerned about the most! A normal healthy reading is 110/75 but everyone is different!

B/P is dependent on many factors.
Age.
Body mass.
Life style ( runner, weight lifter, couch potato, etc )
Do you take medications.
Did you just have some kind of physical activity.
Are you male or female.
Do you have any medical problems.
I am 39, 6-1 and 275lbs. If I had your BP I'd probably be feeling a little tired.
My wife was about 5-6 and weighed around 100lbs. Her B/P was like yours on a regular basis.

If you are fit and healthy and don't get dizzy spells or feel giddy, or have any vasovagal symptoms( feeling faint on standing up from sitting position), I wont get worried at all. As long as you are asymptomatic, you should consider yourself lucky to have such blood pressure, If on other hand you suffer from any or all of above symptom, visiting your doctor is damn good idea, though he may not be able to offer you anything except some advice with how to cope or live with it

I've read some of the other answers,and your B.P is way too low.It can cause just as many problems as having high b.p.
Get yourself to the doctors and get it checked properly.The normal B.P is 120/70
If you don't want to go alone,take your friend along with you for support.It maybe nothing to be worried about,but then again you don't want to be on your own if it's bad news.

Normal is 120/80. Most people vary either side of this, but yours is low, get it checked out properly, those machines from Boots are not always correct, especially if the batteries are low.

that is low, but some people opperate at low pressures. did you feel bad? sluggish? did you check it with an electric monitor? sometimes they give false readings. i always check blood pressures twice, a few minutes apart. make sure you are sitting down, feet flat on the floor. if it remains low or you feel problems, get a doctor to check it and monitor it regularly. goal blood pressure is <140/80
