Don't worry about blood pressure of 110/70.its completely all right..you have bp of 156/90 in hospital . So there is disparities . We need to confirm which one is right.i would like to inform you that home monitoring of blood pressure is best when you are comfortable with a good bp instrument by expert hand.bp rises some time in hospital when doctor measure it that we call white coat hypertension . Measures your bp at least 3 times over a period of 1 week then fine out what is happening whether it is normal or increased . Don't be stressed about your low bp it's normal bp.apart from this you said you have no appetite and have pain abdomen . To diagnose what exactly is the cause of it we need few more detail and examination . You plz discuss about this with your physician . He will evaluate you properly and treat you . Hope this will help.
