Hello, thanks for posting a question on our site.
I can understand your concern towards your boyfriend's health issues.
- His blood pressure at 97/57 mmHg is a little low. Usually, hypotension is a blood pressure below 90/60 mmHg and most patients do not have complaints.
- Hypotension can be caused by diseases like thyroid diseases, heart issues etc. Symptoms can worsen in event of dehydration, which is what made him feel like passing out after playing golf.
- I advise that he goes to the hospital for full evaluation, to know what is causing his low blood pressure. Warm regards
