What is too low for BP?

[ljwhorfin]

i recently got a blood pressure monitor and notice that in the morning when i first get up my BP is around 80/50. Afternoon it's about 105/70. And after running 110/75.

Is 80/50 getting too low -- i'm on coreg and lisinopril.

Yes, it is to low. Don't get upset, but report this to your doctor. If you are having no lightedness, but dropping that low should be reported. I am not a doctor, I am speaking from experience. sam

I take the same medication, but my bp is a little high in the morning, but HR low, and in the late afternoon my bp is low and pulse around 80 bpm. The doc said during the night the med has worn off! This is inconsistant with your time and measurement! Doesn't make sense.

i take coreg and lisinopril twice a day.. about 5am when i get up and 5pm after work. And no i've never gotten light headed or dizzy in the 5+ months i've been on these drugs.
