During a trip to the ER, they told me that my blood pressure was static. She checked it several times. ER nurse mentioned it but did not bring it up again. She asked if i had been experiencing light-headedness or dizziness. Now, i'm very worried.

To me static means unchanging or staying the same.
If they said it was too low I would worry, if they said it was high I would worry.
Static to me would mean that they checked it more than once and it did not change.
If your concerned see your doctor.

Two things,
Static means it's not changing very much. That's not really a problem
Blood pressure and "light-headedness" typically refers to low blood pressure. If you feel fine, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Perhaps the word better to describe it would be "low". Low B/P can result in becoming light headed upon standing up. Ask them to clarify it next time. What was the reading?

she was probably wanting to make sure you don't have this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension
