bp question.

Ok so I just took my blood pressure... 83/46. It normally runs about 120/80 or somewhere close to that range. Would that be grounds to really worry? I'm not really feeling bad or anything just dizzy and sleepy. Or would that be considered normal for me? I'm 5' 5" 128lbs...

Hm..

Are you sure you did it correctly?

Any major change seems concerning, but IDK.. I would probably call my midwife/OB.

I used my mom's digital bp monitor, but it could have ready it wrong.

I would eat something with sodium in it, it helps to raise the blood pressure up and drink a big glass of water

No problem I had bad problems with that during my pregnancy, Dehydration can cause it and being enemic so have your doctor check it out

Most definitely. Dh and I need to invest in one to keep at our house, bc I've been having spells of just getting weak and dizzy, like I did a few minutes ago. Kinda freaked me out.

Just sit where ever you are to stay safe even if you feel like and idiot doing it and watch out driving. I couldnt drive for months it sucked.

Thanks! :-) I'm gonna call up to my ob's office Monday and see what she thinks, especially if it keeps happening. I know pain makes it go up, but when I'm actually feeling the dizziness and all it gets worse so idk. But def gonna talk to her ab it.
