Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my spouse is 75 yrs of age his blood pressure is 118/46 with pulse rate of 60 he is dizzy and has been hospitalized recently for an infection they never found the source. however a few months ago he had an itch on his ankle so i had him tested for lyme disease last week.
Blood pressure of 118/46 and heart rate of 60 bpm can't cause dizziness. Dizziness can be caused if blood pressure is higher than 150 mm Hg (systolic blood pressure, the upper number) or lower than 90 (systolic blood pressure, the upper number). In his age dizziness can be caused by other problems, I would advise him to have complete blood count done, if it comes back normal, then see a neurologist.
Take care
