Dr. Li Qinghui
Human blood pressure is not a fixed normal value but rather fluctuates within a certain range. For example, in healthy individuals, diastolic (low) blood pressure typically ranges between 60 and 90 mmHg; values within this range are considered normal. Some individuals may have slightly lower readings—for instance, a diastolic pressure around 59 mmHg may still be considered normal, potentially influenced by factors such as measurement technique, mental state, diet, and others. It is recommended to repeat measurements multiple times for close monitoring.
