Suggest Treatment For Low Blood Pressure, Arrhythmia, Weakness And Dizziness
Question: Hello,
I normally have a low blood pressure and have some arrhymthia. The last 4 days, my BP has been in the 80-90/ 50-60 range. I am very lethargic. Every time I stand I get dizzy, sweaty and have some vagal response. I haven't passed out yet. I cannot drive or even feel like going anywhere I am so weak and just feel rotten. SHould I go to the ER or just get in to see regular DR?

Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Since you are feeling or the last couple of days, weak, dizzy and have hypotension you should go to ER to exclude any life threatening situation.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Blood work

- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Chest x-ray
- Abdominal ultrasound
Hope this will be of help!
