guys, for the past 3 days, i have had this continuous throbbing like sensation in my head which would get really unbearable if i had to bend down, run or climb stairs, etc … so today, i had my blood pressure checked and it turned out to be as 50 / 80, kinda low… i have had no previous history of B.P. issues and neither does it run in the family … so any ideas as to what may have caused this?? the only thing i think of is that i had lost 5 kilos over the past 4 weeks and regained 2 of them back…
Re: possible causes for sudden drop in B.P.
see ur family physician IMMEDIATELY, plz
Re: possible causes for sudden drop in B.P.
Are you dehydrated? Did you lose weight via a crash diet?
DO get checked out. They will do blood work and try to identify the cause. Hopefully it's a temporary situation.

@ Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta ... thank you sir, I intend to do that first thing in the morning as almost everything is closed here now....
@ NikSik .. not sure about dehydration, are there any visible indicators for dehydration? and no, didn't go on a crash diet.. just reduced my daily paratha and mithai intakes :)

u r very welcome i think if its possible u may go to the ER of ur local hospital as it will be convenient for u coz they'll do all the necessary tests so u don't have to run around tomorrow during the daytime. its just a suggestion. i find it easier to go to hospital and get everything done right there. so plz think about it. i pray that u get better fast, iA. aameen**

That is serious.
Yes, dehydration is one main reason and you do need to seek medical advice.
Many other reasons for someone to have such low BP besides dehydration and some blood tests are badly needed. Don't know where you are but you may need admission/observation for a couple of days at least. Good luck.

i dont have the weight-loss problem .. but i do OFTEN get that throbbing headache that any minor household chore, even bending down is misery. plus my hearing gets very sensitive and too much light is also difficult on my eyes.
