BNP test result

hello,

I am currently being investigated for heart failure. My bnp test result has just come back as 8pg/ml. It says ‘normal’ but looking online this seems very low? I’m on a beta blocker but only a low dose

has anybody else got a low reading?

Best to ask your doctor. From reading, can be different reasons depending on individual.
