My blood pressure is 97/69.Its always been quite low,but never this low.I feel spaced out.Should I be worried?

Question

I have been anaemic in the past. I haven't been eating as much as usual, but I did have a big dinner tonight. I feel like my heart is hardly beating. My pulse is ranging from the 60s to 70s. I'm female, 20 years old, and don't really exercise. I'm 5ft 7" and weigh 9stone

My haemoglobin levels will drop suddenly every now and again and I have to take iron medicine, but I was checked about 2 months ago and they said the levels were fine. I have been cutting out meals though, and probably not drinking as much as usual. I've never had any treatment for my blood pressure. I did used to have an arythmia though. My heart would miss a beat, but then squeeze it in at the last minute. I was told this was down to my nerves though and I seem to have grown out of it almost completely.

Answer 1

Your blood pressure, pulse and weight sound o.k., but I think you should go and see your doctor just to make sure.

Have you had any blood sugar problems previously? What is your hemoglobin levels like now? Did you feel any better after you ate?

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 3

You are on the low side and you should be asking your doctor, not us answerer's

You will live a lot longer with low blood pressure then you will with high. 97/69 isn't terribly low but as I said you should consult your doctor.

Answer 4

You must contact your Primary Care Physician or Cardiologist. If you feel "spaced out," then your low blood pressure is most likely affecting your brain function. It may be transient and completely reversible, but you should NOT risk damage to your organs by ignoring hypotension.

Answer 5

there is nothing wrong with that

blood pressure on the lower side is healthy and you rpulse rate is not that low either

so no you dont need to worry about your blood pressure or pulse rate

you may need to worry about other thing but i dont know what those are!

Answer 6

Take the advice of the person who answered who is a physician. He knows what he is talking about. The people that answered and said it didn't need to be dealt with right away are ignorant and WRONG! I hope that by the time you read this that youve already called a doctor.

Answer 7

Answer 8

well, im not sure what a stone is, but the average pressure is 130/85, so i would be worried. you need to go to the doctor, especially if you feel sluggish and exhausted

Answer 9

your B/P is way to low and that's why your feeling the way you do. You need to see your doctor right away or get to the ER. If it drops to low the results wont be pretty for you or your family so please get it checked out right away
