Answers:
104/60 is fine, normal is 115/75, but I've seen atheletes with pressures of 90/50 who were quite healthy!. pressures below 88/48 are too low as then the kidneys begin to have difficulty filtering the blood at that point!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is still within the normal range, but kind of low!. If you are not having problems with your blood pressure such as dizziness, fainting, etc!. then having blood pressure in that range is not a big deal!.

Most doctors won't bother to classify you as having low blood pressure without symptoms!. High blood pressure is usually considered 140-159/90-99!.

No one really know what causes low or high blood pressure!. There are often co-morbid factors such as weight, stress, disease and some medications!. But, essentially, it just comes down to genetics!. I have known people that at 300 lbs had excellent cholesterol and a BP of 130/80!. Genes!. It is what it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is a bit low!. Any reading over 120 is pre-hypertensive!. Any reading 140 is high!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yours is perfectly fine!. as long as you have no symptoms!. like dizzyness blurred vison!. mine is always that low too!. having a low BP is quite common!. i have worked on an ambulance now for over 4 years and what i consider low would have to be less then 80-90 systolic or top number!. i would consider high around 150-160 systolic!. there are many many causes of low and high blood pressure including in the low category, hypovolemia or low blood volume, shock, abnormal heart rhythms, chest trauma, medications, pericardial tamponade!. and some in the high category include stress, cardiac disease, medications,narrowing of arteries!. if you have any other questions just ask!Www@Answer-Health@Com
