Hello! I am Marry and I am suffering from low blood pressure. My blood pressure is 110/70 or 100/70mmHg, and I know that normal values for blood pressure are 120/80 mmHg. I have heard that low diastolic blood pressure raises the risk of dementia in the elderly. I am not sure if this is true, but I hope you will.
