Low Blood Pressure

[Patsy33]

Was going to see doctor a week or so ago because of low blood pressure but after a few days felt better so didn't bother. Yesterday I felt so dizzy, weak and extremely shaky. I managed to quickly make a turkey roll and pkt of crisp. I felt slightly better and took my blood pressure reading. It was 91/51. I don't feel quite right today. Should I be concerned?

Yes.

Are you having any treatment for any underlying medical condition e.g tablets for BP?

Water tablets e.g torazemide....statins?

Hi Mohne, no, not taking any of those, except 2 low doses of bisoporol (6 years) which admittedly makes my blood pressure a little on the low side but doctor never worried. I take them for a very fast heart rate. Also an anti depressant (2 years) but if anything is supposed to send blood pressure up!. Never had problems with them before.

[Mohne]

OK......sounds as though it may be the bisoprolol (beta blocker) causing a slow pulse rate and a fall in BP.

See your GP.

Thank you very much for your time Mohne. I will ring doctor in the morning.x
