Can Low Blood Pressure Cause Nausea And Dizziness?
Two days ago I had a sudden onset of severe nausea and extreme dizziness and seconds later lost consciousness for a couple of minutes. Since then I have been experiencing light nausea and light dizziness on and off. I have been under stress lately with my Mom in the hospital for a month and visiting her daily. I take atenolol for high bp but has been under control for several years. My diastolic bp the past few days seems low 123/67 or so. Usually about 119/89 or so. Should I be concerned? Are the bp and symptoms connected? I am 54 female 125lbs. in good health. Thanks!

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your actual blood pressure values seem to be within the normal ranges.
The low diastolic blood pressure could be related to atenolol intake, but these values are not concerning and there is no need for any dose adjustments.
The dizziness and nausea could be related to an inner ear disorder. If these complaints persist, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist to exclude this possibility.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
