The last few days (4) i am experiencing some weakeness, my blood pressure is low (90/50) ,though it is usually like that, but i feel like sleepy and sometimes even shaking ,and this is especially when i go out in the sun(it is very hot here), and when I get up i feel that blackout sensation in my eyes(when pressure is low). And i have lack of energy. Thank you

Hi,welcome to HCM.
Low blood pressure can contribute to symptoms like weakness,dizziness and visual blackouts due to reduced blood supply to brain.Prompt treatment is a must.Drugs like fludrocortisone and midodrine will help to elevate the blood pressure.Adequate hydration can lead to elevate the blood pressure.Increase the intake of salt to >6gms/day.Consult your doctor for further queries.
Thank you
