For starters, anything under 120/80 is not low!. These are simply US standards and are quite high in comparison to most non-westernized countries!. In fact a systolic blood pressure of 120 bears an increased risk of heart disease compared to a systolic pressure of 115, meaning that our standard actually puts us at an elevated risk of disease!. That said, 84/43 is low; however, I have seen healthy people with this pressure!. Does she get dizzy!? Short of breath!? If she simply had a physical and this number made you curious, I wouldn't worry about it!. If there are other reasons to be concerned, then see a doctor!.

Another reason to not be concerned is that her pulse pressure is high (the difference between systolic and diastolic) which suggests strong healthy contractions!. Once again, if other symptoms exist, then this is a different story!.

****From the extra info provided, she needs to see a doc ASAP if not go to emergency!. Because of the health food comment along with everything else, I'm guessing she is anemic, but the main point is that she needs urgent care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The normal blood pressure for someone is 120/80!. And a normal pulse is 60-100!. She sounds like she is really healthy, so having a pulse of 45 is probably going to be normal for her!. Along with peoples pulse rate being different, so will peoples blood pressure!. Although, I must say, 83/43 seems really low to me!. Of course with a pulse being that low for a long period of time, the blood pressure will also go down with time!. By the way, how old is this person we are talking about!? Hope this helped out a little!.

If she is atheletic a slow heart rate and lower blood pressure may be ok!. When my brother-in-law went to have his tonsils out at the age of 24 they were very concerned because his heart rate was in the same range!. He was a swimmer and runner and played water polo in school!.

If this young lady isn't a jock, she should have it checked!. She could be dehydrated or just a low normal for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is a low BP even for a small individual!. I would suggest that this person see a doctor to rule out any significant causes of this low BP and heart rate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
