My fathers BP is 128/28 . He is 82 yrs old. Is that too low for his age?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Your father's diastolic blood pressure is extremely low. Causes can be severe dehydration to infection - or even the body going in to shock. His doctor needs to be called straight away.
Best,
Susan
