Iv been taking my blood pressure at Walmart and the other day I was 88/66 and yesterday I was 99/65 should I be worried!? Please help I have a doc app tomorrow I'm 16 weeks

It's normal for your blood pressure to decrease during pregnancy. It's the increased demand for blood supply to the fetus. Think "same" amount of fluid with more pipes to fill...

I'm a medical assistant and honestly we dislike Walmart blood pressure test because they are wrong an hive false readings most of the time your blood pressure is fine. if it was like 55/40 or 44/52 that's when u worry .

Oh, I see you are asking if it is 'too' low.  I don't think so hon.  It's actually pretty consistent and that consistency is what they look for as well as the numbers.

Hi.  I don't think so.  that is such a slight rise and well within normal.  your bottom number is really low and that is one of the keys to high blood pressure.  good luck
