Blood pressure is 99 over 60?!


Question: Blood pressure is 99 over 60!?
I'm 24, female, 5'4", 117lbs!. I eat well, I exercise!. I was just in for a routine follow up at the doctor's today and they took my blood pressure for some reason!. It was 99/60!. The nurse kind of furrowed her brow as she announced it, then said "oh well that's okay!."

Is that really low!? How low is too low!?

I battled a serious intestinal illness from July of 2007 to March of 2008, but I'm really doing well now and back on my feet so I don't think that's anything related to it!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
