@khelves Second response to you - you said, "As a really active kid, I didn't think anything of it until I didn't hit the range for directly after exercise. I was too low by at least 10... "
Your PE teacher should have gone on to explain that blood pressure is a VERY individual measurement. Until my first pregnancy at age 30, my usual, resting blood pressure was 90/60 - very low by most measures. Yet I functioned very well. Now, many years later, I struggle to keep my blood pressure down in the normal range, even with a very small dose of medication.
Chronic dehydration is a different thing - how are you determining that? In addition to tracking your BP and liquid intake (non-caffeinated) you might want to track how frequently you urinate. Do it every day or so for a month, then ask your Mom to send you for a physical.
