Is 104/66 considered low blood pressure?!


Question: My extremities are almost always cold and I tend to be more sensitive to the cold. Could this possibly be related to low blood pressure or anything else?

104/66 is on the low end of normal. However, it shouldn't be low enough to be related to your cold extremities. Some people just have better circulation to their extremities than others. I'm not sure if you are male or female, but it seems that females tend to have worse circulation in their extremities and are more prone to them being/feeling cold.
You need to visit the doctor and have some tests done. Your doctor can test you for many causes of being unusually cold, such as anemia, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, poor circulation due to peripheral vascular disease or coronary artery disease, Raynaud's syndrome, etc.
Best wishes to you and in the meantime, exercise your arms and legs to encourage blood circulation and therefore warmth...

According to this web site it would be hard to say for sure. For some I guess it would be considered low and for others, even at lower readings they would have no symtoms.

I think you would have to go to the doctor to be sure.

It is not low, but it is toward the bottom of normal. It is a healthy blood pressure unless it is usually sky high and just suddenly dropped. Since it is on the lowish side, it could contribute to your feeling sensitive to the cold. That feeling can be related to other conditions. Go tell all your symptoms to your doctor and he/she'll come up with what's ailing you, if anything. But it doesn't sound like anything is ailing you.
