What Caused Resting Heart Rate Of 50bmp And A Low Blood Pressure?

I have a resting heart rate of around 50bmp and low blood pressure. I m 23, female, unfit, normal weight. I don t really have any symptoms. The other day however, I was swimming in the sea becuase it s just part of a tradition here where you swim into the north sea at sunrise on the first day of may. When I came out I have a cut lip, which was from a bottle. Went to first aid van and they took my blood pressure and said it was the lowest they had ever recorded, the doctor was middle-aged! They kept me there til it was normal but told me to go to the doctors the next day. I d been drinking a lot, I was very tired too. Should I be seriously worried?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Dehydration could be the cause for your low blood pressure.
2. Take plenty of fluids. 50 beats per minute, in resting position can be normal. If you are a swimmer and athletic, this is normal.
3. Get a nutritional diet. If your blood pressure is more than 90/60, not to worry. If its lower than that, you might require medications and life style modifications.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
