What does it mean to have blood pressure of 99 over 68?

Answer 1

Generally this is a low blood pressure, and could be caused by a variety of things. It can be normal for some people, though, so knowing what your baseline blood pressure is would be very important for assessing the importance of that single finding.

Answer 2

This is a bit out of the normal range, however in my experience in the Emergency medicine, i have seen many blood pressures similar in completely healthy individuals. A low systolic pressure can exist because of the health and stamina of an individual. If you are a avid runner, your heart may be strong and not need to beat that intense to efficiently cause blood flow to your organs and tissues. However, if you have just been shot and are bleeding with a Systolic measurement of 99 that may be a symptom of significant blood loss. A frequent check of the BP and loss of blood volume should be checked every 15 minutes.

a measurement of 68 diastolic is not a bad number at all. One thing to remember about the blood pressure measurement is that it tells you a great deal of information about the heart and the blood flow. However, without the other signs and symptoms it is difficult to tell what is really wrong with the patient.

If this is your blood pressure and you are taking to assess you current health, quit smoking, or keep running. is my advice to you. you will be fine.
