Hello,
Blood pressure below 90/60 mmHg is classified as low blood pressure and medical helps is needed for its management.
Low blood pressure, irregular heart beat and fever as to be evaluated.
I would advice my patient to consult with a doctor and take medical help.
Your husband may need blood tests and ECG to arrive at a diagnosis.
