Low blood pressure

Wednesday I was sick, and had blurred vision with 88/44 reading and yesterday, my reading was 80/40 😬 phoned triage but they didn’t seem concerned? But equally I’m like wtf? It’s not normal… so dunno whether to book dr appt today for myself šŸ¤” Anyone else experienced this low BP? And if so, what has your medical professionals guided you on it?

My blood pressure is always low especially when I’m hungry at night, I usually experience shakiness and confusion. I’ve expressed this to my midwife on so many occasions and get the same answer each time ā€œ to eat moreā€

Yeah I’ve had really low BP as well since being pregnant, but I’ve now been diagnosed with anaemia & need an iron infusion, which I’m pretty sure can make u have low BP!! Have you had your iron checked? Xx

I have low pressure and shakiness sometimes I have lack of iron so whenever I tell my midwife they suggest me to eat more and have rest.x

I had low BP and same symptoms and it was my iron levels. I would recommend calling GP for full blood work. You might have a deficiency xx

I have low iron levels, and on iron tablets already, currently waiting to be seen at the hospital as my reading today was 74/49 šŸ™ƒ BP just keeps dropping I feel so crap! Hopefully they can give me some answers ā€˜Resting’ is not an option, I have. 14 month old at home 🤣

Hope it gets sorted! Keep us updated xx

Unfortunately not much they can do for low BP. Consultant thinks most likely cause is low iron, so had my bloods re taken and will most likely be booked in for an iron transfusion! If I have funny low BP spells to eat something salty šŸ˜†

Fingers crossed they get them bumped back up because the symptoms are no joke! Xx
