Hi,
A blood pressure reading of 94/55 mmHg with a pulse rate of 73 may indicate low blood pressure (
hypotension). This reading is significantly lower than the recommended blood pressure range of 120/80 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg for most adults.
Several factors can contribute to low blood pressure, including medication side effects,
dehydration, heart problems, endocrine disorders, and
nervous system disorders. The medications you are taking, including losartan,
amlodipine, and
tizanidine, can all potentially cause low blood pressure as a side effect.
In addition, taking opioids such as Lortab can also cause low blood pressure, particularly if you are taking a high dose or if you are dehydrated.
It is important to discuss your symptoms and blood pressure readings with your healthcare provider. They may recommend adjusting your medications, reducing your opioid dosage, or further evaluating your heart and nervous system function to determine the underlying cause of your low blood pressure. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated and avoid sudden changes in position that can cause dizziness or fainting.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
