Low Blood Pressure…. Worry?!
Today at a medical appointment my BP was 87/56.
The nurse kept asking me over and over if I felt ok. She said it was very low so she was concerned.
I have always been told my BP reads slightly low but no one has ever shown that much concern…
Should I be worried, now she has been panicking.

@Terri lynn To be honest, little dizzy. I had to cut my workout short because I felt like I was going to pass out… I am definitely hydrated. I do take medication for hypothyroidism, but that is nothing new.
I would suggest nothing strenuous. Get yourself a BP wrist cuff from Walmart for $20-50 and take your BP in the morning and at night. Hopefully it’ll level out and the dizziness will go away.
@Terri lynn thank you!

Nurse here. So how ARE you feeling? Any dizziness or lightheadedness when moving from lying to sitting or standing? Best course of action is to change positions slowly and DRINK WATER or other fluids. The more fluids in your system, the more will make your way into your blood stream and increase your BP. Do you take any medications that have a risk of lowering your BP?
