How To Treat Fall Injury In A 93 Years Male?
My 93 year old father fell this morning at his assisted living home - he is not "hurt" but cannot stand on his own, he threw up on himself, his blood pressure is 76/34 and his feet are really "dry" (toes stuck together?) Do you have an idea what is going on?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your father's blood pressure is low. Try giving him fluids, like tea, coffee, and electrolyte. Have his electrolyte level done and monitor his blood glucose. Put cold pack over that area where he is hurt to avoid swelling and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
