Default blood pressure

what is everybody's blood pressure? I am curious if TOS people have a narrow pulse pressure. For example, if blood pressure is 120/80, then pulse pressure is 40 (120-80=40). Less than this might indicate a narrow pulse pressure.

Thanks

Mine used to be 110/90 (pulse pressure of 20). It is better lately since I have been taking meds.

I had high blood pressure and was on medication for about 10 years.(I'm 51) Last year I got really sick and had to have a heart valve replacement. At that point, my blood pressure got really low and I was dizzy and light headed all the time. Since then, my blood pressure has been perfect. I think the reason for that, is I gave up hard alcohol. My cholesterol and triglycerides have also come way down. I still enjoy a few beers now and then but that doesn't seem to affect me like the hard alcohol does. As far as TOS affecting my blood pressure, I'm not really sure about that.

My blood pressure tends to the low side, but not a cause for alarm. Doctors all say it's great. There have been times assistants have had trouble finding a pulse, so I wonder if that was a possible warning sign for the TOS I ended up being diagnosed with in recent years

Last time I had my blood pressure taken (last week) both arms were normal although my TOS side was higer.
