My blood pressure is 80/60 and I'm 18 years old, should I see the doctor?!


Question: My blood pressure is 80/60 and I'm 18 years old, should I see the doctor?
So yeah, my bp atm is 80/60 and i'm feeling a bit dizzy especially when I stand. I have a mild headache going on. My usual bp is 120-100/70-80
I think my pulse rate is normal, just the bp. I have irregular sleeping patterns.
I don't want to visit a doctor, cause i don't ever want to be a patient, so is there any medications that you can suggest? Or should I go to a doctor? Damn.

Hi Jiggy,

If your normal BP is up around the 110/120 over 70/80 mark, the 80/60 is WAY too low - there is no 'one answer' as to why it has plummeted inexplicably.

Going to a doctor will enable you to get a definitive diagnosis - remember, diagnosis is what doctors are best at, and they have access to all the tests. You say you don't want to be a 'patient' - but, once the test results are available, you can still CHOOSE your preferred method of treatment.

Yes it's time to go see a doctor. Have you been eating ok? Are you a diabetic? Is your blood sugar low?
Drink some water if you feel a bit thirsty to increase your fluids.
Are you using a battery operated blood pressure monitor? If so are the batteries good? Either way if you continue to feel bad, go to the doctor. That is way to low.



It sounds like you need to get checked out. The fact that this BP is unusually low for you, combined with the fact that you're experiencing symptoms, is quite concerning. Have someone DRIVE YOU (don't drive yourself, you may pass out with BP that low) to your own doctor, or an urgent care, or an emergency room, today.



it depends what you been doing,if you live in uk it doubful dr do alot apart from tell you you lucky.i suffer from very low bp far lower than your and makes me feel dreadful at times dr no do anything.be careful when you get up from laying or sitting position do it slowly,but as someone said try get your sleeping pattern sorted out good walk no booze,it doubful on one bp he do anything



Your blood pressure is a little low. Be on the safe side and get check out . You might want to try L Tryosine an amino acid . Take 500 mg on empty stomach 2 times daily. This helps to regulate your blood pressure. You might want to take some liquid Himalayan sea salts daily.



It could be a sign of a lot of serious diseases, but it usually is not. Eat healthy, drink healthy, keep fit. If the symptoms persist, see a doctor. If you feel unsecure, see a doctor.



yea your probably stressed with school or your not eating or sleeping right. See a doctor and just get help. Of course you need to see a doctor.
