Being Hypertensive, What Could Sudden Low BP With Disorientation Indicate?

My bood perssure tonight is 90/54. I normally have high blood pressure (140/85) and take 50 mg spironton, 12.5 mg hydrochlorathizde, 60 mg aldactone.to control it. I fell quite unwell at the moment, and am wondering if it's reason for concern. My head feel fuzzy and disconected,and I have quite a lot of pain in my neck, back and shoulders. Any information you give would be appreciated. I am a 52 yead old female, overweight at 210 pounds and 5.5 tall

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

Your symptoms might well be because of low blood pressure specially your diastolic is quite low according to these readings , if usually it stays around 130-140 as your said then you do not have to worry much, at the moment what you have to do is to lie down in bed and drink 3-4 glasses of water that you will feel good in a couple of hours.

You are taking diuretics so water gets reduced in body, and if some day you don't drink enough water your blood pressure can fall, so drinking water only is expected to help you quite much. I would also suggest you to measure your blood pressure twice a day and write it down on a paper with date, if its within normal range that is fine otherwise visit your doctor ASAP.

Even if you are going for a normal visit to your doctor always take such a blood pressure chart with you to his clinic this always helps your doctor to make further decisions about your medication.


I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
