What Causes Dizziness When Diagnosed With Low BP?

I have been on BP meds for many years. I m 67. The past two weeks I have had episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness and when I take my BP it is low - like 90/53. Last night I didn t take my usual BP meds and my BP was 122/70 this morning. Is there something I should be worried about? I worry about everything!

Hello,

The symptoms of dizziness and lightheadedness may be due to low blood pressure. I would suggest to decrease the dosage of medications and monitoring the blood pressure ideally to maintain the average blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg. 
 

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
 Dr. Ponnambalam V
