Re: possible causes for sudden drop in B.P.

@solarcipher

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…

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.
