Are Weakness And Dizziness Due To Low BP Of Around 95/55?

I have been experiencing a feeling of weakness, lightheadedness, like I might faint. I can feel it in my neck, arms and head and even in my stomach. I have low blood pressure and I've checked it severatal times recently when I've felt lightheaded and it has been lower than usual, around 95/55 and once it was 90/54. Typically, it is 104/69 -- 114/72. My heart rate is normal at 59--64. Is this cause for concern. I'm normally very active, but now i feel like I need to lie down and rest at times. I'm 71, in good health.

114/72 is not bad. But certainly 90/54 to 95/55 is cause of concern if you reach it often.

When heart is not able to pump properly by systolic contraction, the systolic BP is lower ( 114, 95, 94 in your case here).

When heart is at rest and dilated the minimum pressure exerted is diastolic BP (e.g. 72, 55, 54 in your case here).

Continuous low BP conditions can have many complications in winters, nutrition problems, improper functioning of body systems which may lead to many other problems for non-supply of blood/ oxygen to remote parts/ brain due to low pumping of heart.

It is better to keep trying for normal BP range by natural methods.

Take a lot of water with a pinch of salt frequently. Take juices. Have Deep breathing exercises when you get time for at least 10 minutes.

If you were my patient I would advise you to Take powder or capsules or Liquids made with Herb ARJUNA (Terminalia arjuna). It is heart friendly and is famous for restoring healthy contractions of heart thus maintaining normal BP.

Action may not start early as it is a pure bark of a tree. Its not chemical and is non synthesized. But continuous taking it everyday will start action in about 2-4 weeks. No side effects. No interaction with other medicines. It is also used for hypertension. The thing is it will maintain BP levels. If supported by Yoga and Deep Breathing, it will be unparalleled

Commonly and economically available in India.
