question - the past few days I have been having dips in my BP.

The school nurse reminded me of a few things about changing body composition and chemistry and had me take my BP a few times a day. And see my PCP as soon as possible.

He was out today so I need to call in the morning. I skipped my BP medicine today in fear of it going any lower. The highest it was today is 90/51. The machine won't register anything, I have headache and pale. DH is getting worried.

Is this common?

I have not had this happen.I would put a call into his answering service so you can be first on the list.

Are you getting enough water?  I am an RN, and by all means do not know everything, but sometimes if a patient is having a low bp it can sometimes be dehydration.  Make sure to get in touch with doc right away!

Mine is usually about 90/50, and when standing can drop to 60/40 or less. In my case it's orthostatic hypotension. Staying well hydrated is the best solution, and was told to get extra salt and electrolytes in my diet.

My dr took me off my BP meds & checking liver function. The meds are taking my levels to low.

I'm not on bp meds, so I'm not sure how much help I can be.

How much water are you drinking? I have to drink at least 100 oz or I get dizzy. I passed out twice yesterday because I hadn't been drinking enough the past few days.

My pcp told me to add salt to my diet because of all the water I drink now. She said it should help keep my bp from getting too low.
