And now he has developed low BP . Due to job constraints its not easy for me to regularly take my father to doctor. Also he is presently stationed at muzaffarpur (bihar). Need your help pl

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The pressure is in lower limits of normal...
Breathlessness may mean left heart failure
Swelling under the eye may mean right heart failure

One has to consider complications from long standing pressure.
It may be related to the heart (like silent heart attack) or kidney (kidney failure); anaemia and so on.
HE MUST BE TAKEN TO THE DOCTOR / examined / he will need investigations...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
