Last time I was at the doctor the nurse commented on my blood pressure. She said. "Wow, you're blood pressure is really low compared to the last time you were here." She said it was 100/55. I'm not fit. I'm about 30/40 pounds overweight and just keeping this body moving while I run/walk is a struggle. The doctor didn't mention a word to me about it and I didn't really think much of it (I was there for a broken ankle.) I was strolling though Walgreens the other day and stopped at the little machines and checked my blood pressure. It was 96/55. I feel tired all the time but I just attributed it to the new school year, coaching, etc. I have a long line of familiy history with heart disease...mom had her first of three heart attacks at 41 and a grandpa died at 45 of a heart attack and my grandma at 88. Is my low blood pressure a good thing in relation to my families history of heart disease or a bad thing?

Lower blood pressure is actually a better indicator of longevity than a low resting heart rate.
