Does Low BP Levels Lead To Frequent Dizziness?
For the last couple of weeks when I go to bed for the night I get very dizzy. Just for a couple of seconds. It started about 3 weeks ago and I was also affected when I was golfing and putting the ball on the tee. I do have regular low blood pressure around 90 to105 over 50 to 65. I do have an appointment with my doctor next week but I did actually pass out three days ago when I went to bed.

Dear user,
Chronic low blood pressure 90mmHg with 60mmHg usually is well tolerated and asymptomatic in many people. Below this reading or when you have dizziness or fainting, further evaluation is needed.
Based on your introduction dizziness can be also related to golfing, brief attacks of paroxysmal vertigo and nystagmus that occur solely with certain head movements or positions, e.g., with neck extension; due to due to labyrinthine dysfunction. You may consult that with an ENT specialist.
Take care.
