Brief Answer:
Increase your fluids intake!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this diarrhea and this rather low blood pressure. This shows that you have not been drinking enough fluids to replace that lost through diarrhea. Please, drink as much as possible and make sure you drink at least 300ml after every loose stool. This is very important as your readings show hypotension from dehydration.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
