What Causes Low Blood Pressure Along With Fatigue And Anxiety?
Yesterday morning after exercising I started feeling really bad so I checked my blood sugar but it was fine so I took my blood pressure and it was 56/47 81 . Later I was cooking and started feeling really nervous and jumpy , felt exhausted and like I needed to lie down but couldn t because I was in the middle of cooking , just didn t feel right . Checked my blood sugar again , it was fine so I checked my blood pressure , it was 138/113 113 . I have been having trouble with my potassium dropping to critical levels over the last couple of months .

Hi
Greetings from HealthcareMagic!
It is very nice that you had measured your blood sugar and BP immediately at the moment. Prompt action is very good thing even in weak condition. After sometime readings may become normal. Then it will be difficult for a doctor to diagnose. Sudden fall in blood pressure may be seen in postural changes in some people. So take care of your postures while doing different exercises. Low blood pressure can cause stroke, heart attack and kidney failure. Coming to treatment
1. avoid some postures which cause fall in BP
2. take more salt in diet
3. make life style changes like avoidance of risk factors like smoking, alcohol
4. Midodrine can be used if not controlled.
5. you have to take potassium supplements for drop in potassium levels.
