Last trip to the Dr's office was the beginning of June. Of course they always check your Blood Pressure and such when you get there.
Well back in June I think my numbers were 120ish/80 which is considered normal. I think the top number was slightly higher than 120 no higher than 130.
Anyhow my BP yesterday was 120/66. That lower number is the lowest I've ever seen for myself.
Of course I was somewhat medicated. Not sure what Mucinex-D does to the system but I was probably taking that back in June as well.
Craig probably has a BP of 90/40 or something impossible, ha ha.
Anyhow, as I sit here feeling miserable with this cold, I figure I would write about something positive.
"I'm positive that all this exercise is doing wonders for my cardiac health"
"I'm positive that I would have destroyed Scotty in the 8K tomorrow"...... Ha ha ha
Well I did go back to a 10K training race I did 10/15/07 just to see what kind of time I might have posted. Taking 80% of that 10K time. 43:28.
For the record I'm already tired of posting these "if I did it" messages.
Good Luck Scott

BP, I seem to be fairly normal. Usually like 120/75 or 115/70. Now my wife is the freak here. They have trouble measuring you under 40, so they list you 40 instead of what it might actully be.
We don't have a lot of non-pregnancy readings for her, but they did BP every visit during that time. She started out something like 80/40. In labor with Maddy she read 125/80. I remember this distinctly because the nurse was somewhat amazed it was still so low. I know she told me her BP was somewhat closer to normal at her last visit. The top number was over 100. I believe you actually don't want to be super low as you get older, not healthy.
Your BP is excellent. Keep it up.
