Take her to ER as soon as possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com

It is hard to assume the cause this time but it's very ominous that low BP with impaired consciousness must be immediately taken to an emergency room for evaluation.

Hope that helps. If you have any further queries, I shall be glad to answer them.
