Should I Be Worried About My Blood Pressure And Pulse Being Low?
I am 40, I had major brain surgery 5 years ago. I have a tumour fossa next to my brain stem and a spinal shunt. I was an international gymnast as a teenager. Now I take exercise but am not what I call fit anymore. My pulse is 58 my blood pressure 108/69. Is this low? Should I have something else to worry about? Jackie

Hello
Your pulse rate and blood pressures are fine and you need not worry over it. this can be due to your atheletic past which has caused a high basal vagal tone ( which is a good thing )
