Re: low blood pressure

I try to stay as hydrated as I can, though I lack at it, so it could be that.
ANd a small, portable fan would be a really smart idea, I might have to steal that from you, thanks.

Re: low blood pressure

Same by me. Also my blood pressure is low (95-60). I try absolutely to avoid direct sun or I lost fell off when it's hot outside... I always bring with me a rechargeable and portable little fan.

Re: low blood pressure

I’d 100% talk to your provider about this especially because you’re getting lightheaded and need to sit down. Tell them the blood pressures you had in the hospital. If you have a blood pressure monitor for home you can continue to monitor it, but note that if you’re anxious while taking it it can actually cause your blood pressure to increase. Are you staying hydrated?

low blood pressure

Lately when I got my vitals taken at inpatient I had low blood pressure(typically 90 something over 60 something or lower) and today while I was playing wuffle ball with my mom I got lightheaded and had to sit. I also had this problem before I was on most of my medications. During choir concerts/rehersals I'd woble a little because I got lightheaded. I feel my heart pounding in my chest once I sit down. I don't have many other symptoms besides shaking hands and weak knees when this happens.
Should I talk to my med provoider/doctor about my blood pressure issues? Typically my lightheaded episodes happened when my blood pressure got to low. It happened before when they were taking my vitals and it was like 88/56 or something near that. On the first take is was 91/76 and then when they went to retake it, it was even lower, and I noticed a difference in the take. My vision got blurry and I felt like the world was spinning around me.
Any ideas what could be happening to me too? I know this isn't a website for medical diagnosis, but I just want ideas of what my doctor could think? I know orthostatic hypertension is a possibility, and so is the condition POTS(Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). But it'd be good to hear some other ideas!
Thanks,
Maddie
