Question: Hi there,

I had my blood pressure taken today and it was 122/55.
Is this healthy? I know the top number is over the healthy limit, while the bottom is very low healthy range. Why?

Brief Answer:
That is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
This blood pressure is perfect.
You need not worry about these BP readings, as this reading as i can observe is taken from Automatic BP Machine. That can give such readings.

Tell me for what symptoms or problem did you get the BP checked?
If you got it checked routinely, i would say it is absolutely normal. Don't worry.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you any have further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
