greetings,
you may be on medications that caused these things (beta blockers), so rearrange with ur doctor ur drug doses and dont take over the counter drugs without his advice.
BUT u should take care that u may have low level of thyroxine hormone(hypothyroidism) ,i think this should be cheked in ur case, especially if u have prolonged sleep & constipation.so take care

Yes, your BP has gone down too low, you need to skip your meds for 1 pill, and see if they go back up at all. If not, and it falls below the 100/60, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Low blood pressure is almost as dangerous as high blood pressure. Either way, you need to go see your doctor after theholidays for a check up, and possibly a different dosage of your bp meds. Normal bp is somewhere around 120/80

Since you are on medication for high blood pressure you should have periodical check up. Your pulse is on the low side and blood pressure in the early morning will be still be low. The medication has brought down your blood pressure. Hence consult the doctor and adjust the dosage for your blood pressure.

Thats not TO overly low. If your systolic (the first number) drops much more than that then yes, you may want to worrie about it. If it is something that has you worried tho go ahead and have it checked out. Also make shure that you drink plenty of water. blood is made mostly of plasma (what the body turns water into and some other stuff) so your low bp could be from dehydration.

Most of the time, your blood pressure medication is responsible for these low readings. To further evaluate your symptoms, I would have to know all your medications. Blood pressure is also determined by if you're standing or sitting.

you are over-medicated.
your blood pressure now is low.
it looks like you are taking a beta blocker (eg Atenolol) as there is a decrease in blood pressure & pulse rate too
Double check your medications with your doctor
After all you may NOT have high blood pressure

whats up, I worked in a Med-Surge well-being center for ten yrs and a Nursing residing house for 9 yrs. maximum Dr's think of they are warm crap. you're think to know what they are thinking and the thank you to ensure their scribble. they could desire to communicate clearer and write extra legible.
