Can BP be too low without symptoms?

Question

I'm planning on ralking to dic about this when I go in later this week, but at a work place health screening earlier this week, my blood pressure was reading "something normal over / 49". 49??!!  
I don't have a history if low BP, very healthy overall, healthy BMI prepreg and on track with weight gain, I feel like I always do/always have (sonothing  "feels" out of the norm...) I tried googling healthy BP ranges but couldn't find anything - So, is lower BP really fine as long as there are no symptoms?

Answer

My dad and I both have normally low blood pressure. But since I've been pregnant it's been even lower (around 110/60). If your doctor isn't concerned I wouldn't be ☺️ a way to get it up is to drink more water, or eat more salt lol

Answer

I have lower blood pressure as well. My doctor told me to drink Gatorade as I was drinking too much water and flushing the salts out of my body. But as long as you are not feeling lightheaded I would not be too worried.

Answer

I would not worry too much about 1 weird reading. I'm an ICU nurse and I see that all the time. We always recheck it immediately and will get a more normal reading.

What does it normally run? Did they even bother rechecking it?

A wrongly sized cuff can also give a bad reading. Or maybe the person taking them just sucks at it.
