How can you prevent Low Blood Presure?
10/21/09
For the last 2 years my husband is getting very bad headacks. It is almost every night.
He is 49 years old. I took his blood presure and it read 111 over 65 .Is this to low?
If so what can we do ?

Hi Ruby,
The Joint National Committee considers the following to be normal for blood pressure:
Normal Range
Systolic (top) blood pressure below 120 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure below 80 mm Hg
Perfect!
A blood pressure less than 90/60 is considered low. Here is a link to more information about low blood pressure - http://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/74.html.
I recommend contacting his physician for an evaluation to determine the cause of the headaches and appropriate treatment.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD
