Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your blood pressure values are low and your symptoms are related to low blood pressure values.
Coming to this point, I would recommend avoid blood pressure meds during these days, until your blood pressure values will get high again.
If low blood pressure values persist, despite stopping blood pressure meds, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some tests:
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance
- a resting ECG.
In the meantime, I recommend having some rest and taking plenty of fluids.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
