Hello Elen,
Yes, blood pressure of 100/56 is a cause of concern. Immediate measures like lifting the lower limbs above head level using any kind of recliners and having adequate fluid intake is recommended.
I would also suggest you to consult a cardiologist/endocrinologist and do a complete work out to rule out any cardiac/hormonal reasons for your frequent hypotensive episodes.
Have a nice day. Thanks for contacting healthcaremagic.
