  • Diastolic 72: Well within normal range (<80).
  • This reading indicates no increased cardiovascular risk based on BP alone.

When to Discuss with a Doctor

  • If you have symptoms (dizziness, fainting, fatigue) suggesting BP is too low for you.
  • If you have conditions like heart failure, autonomic neuropathy, or take multiple BP-lowering meds.
  • If readings vary widely or you have concerns.

For most people, 107/72 is a sign of good cardiovascular health. Maintain it with balanced diet, regular activity, stress management, and routine check-ups.
