What does low diastolic blood pressure mean?
This is the resting pressure of the circulatory system. This is the pressure available in the circulatory system when the heart is at rest.There is either too little fluid in the vascular system or too few particles. You must have pressure even during the resting period for proper cell perfusion. This can also indicate a serious problem with the heart valves which help keep the resting system pressurized.

When the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure are too close together what might that indicate?
Reduced blood flow ... but its usually an artifact of measurement rather than real.
When is diastolic blood pressure measured?
In normal health care two types of blood pressure is messured; the diastolic and the systolic. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure the heart generates when it contracts and sends out a pulse of blood through the arteries. The diastolic pressure is the pressure that resides in the arteries between heartbeats. Typical systolic pressure: 120 mmHg Typical diastolic pressure: 80 mmHg. Another way of measuring blood pressure is by calculating mean arterial blood pressure MABP. This is calculated by the formula: MABP = 1/3 SBP + 2/3 DBP SBP & DBP being systolic and diastolic blood-pressure. For a person with 120 / 80 mmHg the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) will be: MABP = (1/3x120) + (2/3x80) = 93mmHg. The reason for the systolic being 1/3 and the diastolic being 2/3, is that the systolic only presides for 1/3 of the time. The rest of the time, between two pulses, the diastolic pressure rules, and that's why it's 2/3.

107 73 to low for adult blood pressure?
No, this blood pressure is actually within the new guidelines for optimum blood pressure (110/70). A blood pressure that is too low would be symptomatic, such as feinting or lightheadedness when standing.
Why can both high and low blood pressure cause problems?
If blood pressure is too low, some of the cells will not get oxygen and other materials. If blood pressure is too high, the force may weaken the blood vessels and require the heart to work harder to push blood through the blood vessels
Is 131 over 69 a good blood pressure range for a 66 year old woman?

What is the average range for systolic blood pressure?
120 (sys) 80 (diastolic) is the classic answer for highest normal blood pressure in adults. For adults, healthy blood pressure targets depend on health history, with lower targets for adults with certain conditions. Children's blood pressure norms are based on age and height percentile.
