Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your blood pressure values are not too low today. But those of yesterday are concerning.

Anti-hypertensive therapy could be the cause of your complaints.

Dehydration or an electrolyte imbalance could also contribute to this clinical scenario.

For this reason, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values for a few days. Taking plenty of water is also necessary to stay well hydrated.

If your blood pressure values are below 110/60 mm Hg most of the time, and you feel dizzy or weak, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of reducing the doses of your anti-hypertensive drugs.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
