Depending on individual differences and daily circumstances, a blood pressure of 100/60mmHg may be a normal physiological phenomenon, or it may be the result of abnormal pathological phenomena such as excessive lowering of blood pressure in hypertensive patients, or short-term hemorrhage resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure.
1. Normal physiological phenomenon: It is more common for young women with a thin body and the elderly to have a blood pressure of 100/60mmHg. If the basal blood pressure level is always maintained at 100/60mmHg and does not affect daily life and exercise, generally speaking, it is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.
2. Abnormal pathologic phenomenon:
(1) Excessive blood pressure lowering in hypertensive patients: for hypertensive patients taking medication, excessive use of antihypertensive drugs may cause blood pressure to drop to 100/60mmHg.
(2) Short-term hemorrhage leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure: If an adult whose blood pressure is normally maintained at 120/80mmHg has a vasodilatation and a large loss of blood volume due to trauma, infection, or other factors, a rapid drop in blood pressure to 100/60mmHg may also occur.
To summarize, whether the blood pressure value of 100/60mmHg is normal or not needs to be judged according to different situations. If the blood pressure suddenly drops to 100/60mmHg, it is recommended that the patient should go to the hospital immediately for examination and treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease and complying with the doctor’s instructions.
