Hi welcome to hcm
Low blood pressures can be physiological in thin people but excess metabolism anemia and dehydration can be few causes.take 3-4 litres of water per day and increase your salt intake to 6gms per day.if you have symptoms like weakness,dizziness,chest discomfort,syncopal attacks get a 2D Echo of your heart to rule out any valvular diseases and heart failure.consult your cardiologist for exlert management.
Tha.kyou.
