I just tried to give blood and was told I could not do it, because my blood pressure was too low? 88/52
I thought having a low blood pressure was good??
They also said since my heart rate was 106 that I would probalby end up passing out. Is that bad?
Am I in bad shape?? should I be worried? I'm 5'6, 20, 112lbs..

Well, it may be normal for you, but it's below the norm. Your heart rate should be well below 100 bpm.

Normal levels are 120/80. Sounds like you might need to be evaluated for hypotension. Here's a web address to check out for information:
