What Causes Low BP While Suffering From Pneumonia?
Question: My wife is resting with Phenoumia and is taking a prescribe script. She is still very weak after seening a Med Check RN She also is on a pacemaker, 65 yo and 127lbs. Her blood pressure I just took is 114/ 77 I know this is low. Im need to know if I need to get her to immediate care now . She is scheduled to see her doctor Monday morning? Thank you
Brief Answer:
Can wait until tomorrow
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Blood pressure 114/77 is not that low to refer to ER unless your wife's normal blood pressure is above 140/90.
It is possible she is weak because of pneumonia.
If she has no heart failure, she can take some liquids and wait until her appointment with her doctor.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
