Low blood pressure

[Tj1960]

I’m on various meds to treat my heart failure/cardiac arrest 2 years ago.

I have been ok most of the time but just recently I have been struggling.

My blood pressure is usually around 98/58 but last few days it has dropped to 71/44 and it worries me. What should I do.

Call your GP 71/44 is low

I would agree with Gaz. That is very low. You really need to be careful when you stand from sitting position you may get dizzy 🥴. Get yourself checked urgent

Drink more water to get your blood volume up and hence BP. Phone 111 or your GP now. Good luck.

Since my hf a month ago they have been deliberately keeping my BP around that figure - as long as I feel ok it’s not a concern - so the fact you not feeling good means it’s a definite call to GP

Thanks for all the advice. Waiting for a return call from 111

Hey TJ how did you get on ?

[Tj1960 in reply to Scoopdogg]

The 111 team wanted me to go A&E. I’m still in isolation so I just stayed at home. My bp this morning was upto 85/53

At least that’s something - hope it continues to improve

Hope you are ok

Hiya, I've had issues with low blood pressure recently, not as low as yours though. Like you it's kept lower on purpose for heart failure reasons. I was told if I don't feel OK at anytime to ring my nurse. I've had my meds adjusted as a result.

Hi. Feeling a little better but not much really. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t resuscitated
