Some people have this average for a blood pressure normally.
Are you taking medications to lower your blood pressure? These meds can lower your BP too much. Notify your doctor, if so.
Increase your fluid intake can help some as well.

I have to argue with the EMT person. The average is no longer 120/80. My blood pressure (for many reasons that I won't explain here) has dropped to 110/62. I have readings in that range. All of my medical people are very happy about a reading that low.
You should ask your doctor if he/she wants it up from that reading and what they suggest you do to achieve that.

Ok, first of all, what type of person are you? Are you an athlete that works out daily, what type of body shape do you have? these are things to consider. Secondly, do you take medications? I agree with the EMT you should of had it rechecked, but if you don't have any other signs or symptoms your not in shock. You may be dehydrated although. Basically there are many different reasons for you reading.

that is extremely low. you should be around 120/80. I would recheck your blood pressure and go see a doctor asap. I am an emt and you are considered to be in shock because your pressure is so low.

Hi Frenchy
Please pay particular attention when assessing BP as it is more important than most may believe

You may be naturally hypotensive.
