title: Ask the doctor. I am a 78-year-old woman and have been taking high blood pressure medications for many years. Maybe it s because I've lost a lot of weight I used to be quite heavy but my blood pressure has fallen to about 110/70 mm Hg. My doctor tells me that the lower my blood pressure, the better. But I worry that it's getting too low. What do you think?
