Hello,
Blood pressure levels of 169/96 are not low levels. Normal BP is within 90-139/60-89 mmHg.
You are actually having high blood pressure. If these levels continue for more than a few days or you have any symptoms or worsening it may be advisable to talk to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
