Don't get dizzy from standing up fast. I do remember being able to have fun head-rushes as a younger kid: never dizzy persay, but interesting short cognative effects.
I'm neither small nor a woman, so don't have those excuses.
The diastolic BP was slightly out of the "normal" range on the little computer display thingy, which is why I was a big curious.

A blood pressure level that is borderline low for one person may be normal for another. The most important factor is how the blood pressure changes from the normal condition. Most normal blood pressures fall in the range of 90/60 mm Hg to 130/80 mm Hg, but a significant change, even as little as 20 mm Hg, can cause problems for some people.

Hmm, yet another worry:

Wide pulse pressures, or large differences between systolic and diastolic blood pressure numbers, may indicate stiff and injured arteries.

Relationships between wide pulse pressure and death were complex. They depended on whether the widened pulse pressure was due to increased systolic or decreased diastolic blood pressure.

*sigh*
I'll just ignore it for now. My usual reaction when I do to much research on a subject like this: there is so much contradictory information out there.
