Morning Poppy, once in hospital I told the nurse how low my blood pressure was at that moment and was told to drink plenty of water. I did and was soon back to normal. So my question to you is are you drinking enough fluids?

My blood pressure is always low. Usually about 90/ 60 but can go lower. I always feel fine though so my doctor says nothing to worry about. After my ablation it dropped really low and they wouldnt let me go home. On the advise of the nurse I drank 2 jugs of water overnight and in the morning it was back to normal. I spent much of the night on the comode though!

If you feel ok you probably are ok but as Jeanjeannie says, msybe dehydrated. X

I once phoned the pre 111 out of hours service in Edinburgh when mine had been very low all day. I was told to drink water with salt in it.
