low bp, incase of oncology setting is- associated infection that is sepsis because of low blood counts. and in this setting giving bp medications may further reduce the bp. hence, if she is feeling very uncomfortable, better take her immediately to hospital. with tablet, we cannot make her bp to bring up.
