Brief Answer: no problem Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Welcome to healthcare Magic! You can enjoy the holiday on heights without any problem. Low blood pressure is not a problem on heights as far as the systolic BP that is the upper reading is above 90mmHG. Carrying Avomine is helpful if some one has motion sickness during travel. I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you. Take Care!
