Question : I have experienced low blood pressure. I have a lingering headache, slightly blurred vision, and sometimes dizzy. My weight is 100 lbs and I am 4'11". My gland to the kidney was tested and shows normal. What tests should my doctor now be doing to diagnose why my blood pressure is low and I still have repetitive symptoms?

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that low BP can be caused mainly by heart conditions like heart valve problems and heart failure. Thyroid condition and parathyroid issues can also lead to it .

You have been checked for adrenal gland symptoms . You should get a 2 D ECHO , ECG , Thyroid profile and Serum Parathormone done further to look for the cause.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
