Can any one tell me what is considered to be a low blood pressure reading...I bought a wrist blood pressure reader and it tell you the reading for high blood pressure but says nothing about low blood pressure and from what I have been told low blood pressure is more dangerous than high....

it depends on what is normal for you. i have always had a low blood pressure. make sure to tell your health care professional what your norm is so if something goes wrong you know what it usually is as a reference.

No as far as i know it is not dangerous. I suffer from low blood pressure and have for years . When it first showed i asked my doctor was it dangerous he told me that it was good as long as it wasn't too low.He said it just means i wont get high blood pressure,it can become danerous if it goes too low but the doctor will keep an eye on it

i think it depends on what is normal for some people. for instance, people who are used to BP readings of 150/90 up would consider 130/80 as low BP, but this to some might be a high reading already, if they're used to readings of 110/80.
