I'm suffering low blood pressure: 8 over 5; is this normal? What could be
causing this? Is there any danger to this? I don't think I have any symptoms
connected to this, allthough I get an ocasional head rush when I stand up
quickly, but then again, who doesn't?
Is this something to worry about?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
