What Causes Fluctuation In Blood Pressure?
I just took my blood pressure a few minutes ago. It was 95/65, with my heart rate being 90. I take two blood pressure meds. I have lost about 23 lbs. since January, on a low carb diet. Is it possible that the blood pressure meds are too much for me now? I also have mitral valve regurgitation, and see my cardiologist twice a year. I also started doing water aerobics three times a week, since January. I just want to make sure that this isn t too low now. Is this something I should be concerned about or is this okay?

Hi,
Yes the reading of BP is on the lower side. If it is persistently like this than the dose of your antihypertensive drugs need to be modified.
Kindly keep a charting of your bp of morning and evening for at least a week so that the doctor can understand better whether the dose has to be modified or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
