Hi I have been suffering with low blood pressure for a while and cope with it most of the time but I have felt dreadful over the last few weeks, feeling weak and light headed and a horrible ache in my calves. I have just bought my own blood pressure monitor and on average my readings are 89/57. This morning on waking it was 75/52. I usually have a headache every morning too. I am a 42 year old female, 5ft 7in and weigh about 10 stone. I went to the doctor a couple of years ago because I was having fainting episodes and I had my suspicions then about low blood pressure because I would occasionally check on my mums machine and also one in her doctors waiting room. My doctor said it was normal then. Any help would be much appreciated thank you.
HiFainting episodes and hypotension should be evaluated.Please get evaluated with your thyroid levels,ECG, 2d-echo,vitamin b12levels,haemoglobin levels and serum electrolyte levels.Keep yourself hydrated properly,with fruit juices.,balancing electrolyte levels.All the best, take Care.
