What is a normal Blood pressure for my age?
I'm almost 19 and my blood pressure is 103/72
Last time i went to the doctor (2 months ago) the nurse told me it was slightly low.
Is this an okay result?
for the past month, ive drank nothing but water, and lots of it.
ive lost 11 lbs, and i sometimes take allegra and ProAir (inhaler) when needed, cause i possibly may have asthma due to allergies.
i dont know if that causes low BP.

That blood pressure is a little low but not alarming. The big question is how do you feel? If your tired all the time or lightheaded or dizzy when standing that is a problem, if not than your fine. Congrats on the healthy lifestyle. If anything the inhaler might cause your pressure to go a little higher due to slightly increase in pulse rate. Not a big deal though, if you feel okay your likely fine.

Your BP is fine and is actually much better than 120/80 which is regarded as normal and acceptable.
You are well above 90/60. Below 90/60 could be low BP if you suffer from dizziness, faintness and actual fainting spells.
Above 140/90 is too high and needs treatment.
