My blood pressure the bottom number has been running very low.. 45-55.. The top number is normal anywhere between 110 to 125..

Does anyone know if this has anything to do with lyme? I am wondering about thyroid / adrenals or if this is anything to be concerned about, as I can feel my heart beat all through my body at times.

By B/P has been running 125/50 sometime down to 45 also my pulse is around 60 to 68 and this is not resting ..

Tks.

Have you talked to your doctor about it? I would request to have an echo and see a cardiologist just in case.

I have low blood pressure but also have other heart issues. Just had open heart in April. Valve replacement and my aorta replaced.

I know they didn't like when I would drop to 60/48 or lower. While sleeping I have dropped (bottom #) to 28....

Your heart rate seems almost perfect to me. They say the lower the heart rate the healthier the heart.

Athletes could be as low as the 40's. Me I am in the 80's at rest.

When are you taking your blood pressure? I would keep a log and bring it to your doctor.

Yes, I would definitely bring it up with your doctor.
