What is considered low blood pressure? I have high BP at it's highest measurement I know of was 180/140. I am on 3 meds to bring it down. I measure it everyday.
When is blood pressure considered to be low? I mean give me an example of low BP measurement so I will know if I am on too much medication.

Yes, 180/140 is really high...they flipped out on me cause I didnt have a headache, chest pains, etc. etc.
I had a heart and kidney ultra sound done and they are ok. I did the adrenal tumor test Friday...hope it comes back ok. Thanks for the info on low BP, Lindsay...I was wondering when I should be concerned. I know what is too high. ha!
