Hello,

BP 87/54 mm Hg, is low. Any further drop can be dangerous. Better to consult a physician urgently. Allowing it to remain like this also is not good. Consistently reducing BP could be due to possible side effects of chemotherapeutic agents.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
