What Causes Low Blood Pressure Levels Along With Sudden Drop Attacks?

My husbands blood pressure was 90/51 when they D/C him from the ER, he was having episodes of dropping to the floor if he tried to walk and he hurt his body really bad. Nothing showed up on test broken and blood work was fine. Still low BP and no explanation of the falling.
