What Causes Dizziness And Nausea While Having Low Blood Pressure?
I have often felt dizzy and nauseated recently. I am 61 and my blood pressure is a little low at 99/60. Should I be concerned? I am 5' 4 1/2" tall and weigh 128. I have lost about 30 pounds since last summer. Other than fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis, I don't have any health problems.

Hello,
Blood pressure readings of 99/60mmHg should not be of concern and should not cause dizziness. Drugs, such as Lyrica (pregabaline) and other drugs used to treat fibromyalgia can cause dizziness. If you are taking any drug for fibromyalgia contact your primary care physician to see other options.
Regarding your weight loss, this symptom needs to be studies by you primary care physician as it could be sign of an underlying undiagnosed condition.
Best regards,
