Is Weakness And Vomiting Often Associated With Low BP?

Lowblood ptessure


My blood ptessure sometimes gets in the 70'sover30's. I vomiting, feel weak, and stress seems correlated. Today afyer doing ysrd work I felt sick. Several hours later my blood pressure was 101/91. What does a narrow pulse pressure mean?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your systolic blood pressure values are really low.

I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing further tests to investigate for the possible cause of low blood pressure and low pulse pressure:

- a cardiac ultrasound and resting ECG to examine your heart function and structure and exclude possible heart failure which could lead to this symptomatology
- a chest X ray study
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels, cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests).

Meanwhile, I recommend taking plenty of fluids to remain well hydrated and increase the amount of salt that you take in your diet. Caffeine would also be useful.

I would also advise you to avoid straining physical activity and staying in hot places.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
