The blood pressure u mentioned clearly tells you are having hypotension now due to excessive intake of anti-hypertensive pills. The thing you need to do is to drink good quality water and juices because spironolactone is a diuretic which removes water from your body through urination and make blood pressure come back to normal.
Check your blood pressure again and raise it by drinking water and juices. There is nothing to worry it will come back to normal after good intake.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Zia Ul Haq, General & Family Physician
