What Causes Low Blood Pressure Along With Dizziness And Nausea?
Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I would explain that her blood pressure values are low. This could explain the dizziness and nausea.
Low blood pressure does not usually indicate a blood pressure problem. It is commonly related to different metabolic disorders (dehydration, chronic anemia, electrolyte imbalance, etc.).
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with her doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count
- blood electrolytes
- a urine analysis.
In the meantime, I recommend putting her to rest and avoid physical activity. Increasing salt and fluids intake (water, juices) would help stay well hydrated and raise her blood pressure values. A coffee would also help.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
