Low BP. Normal Pulse. Light Headed. Vision Problem. High Cholesterol Under Control.

My BP is 95/88 I'm a little light headed. my pulse is about 90 per min. My diastolic has been very high, while my systolic very low. My normal BP is 95/65 always low but never bothers me. Just the last few days this has changed. Also I feel like my right eye gets some vision problems that comes and goes. Also something that has just started with this abnormal BP. I'm 50, female, 5'8" Weight 156. High cholesterol but under control. I'm also active most of the time. Walk or jog about once to three times a week.. BP Now 101/95

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You need examination and a few investigations... Postural hypo-tension?.. Did you check your BP – standing and lying? / It can be from anaemia – what is your haemoglobin?

     The body's balancing mechanism is in the inner ear. An ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist is the one to see - they have special tests to confirm or exclude the contribution of the ear.
     If the ear is excluded, you have to be followed up by a neurologist. / MRI may be needed. MRA (MRI angiography) shows blood vessels and is generally done at the same sitting.
     If there are no clues, you have to be investigated by a Cardiologist! EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring – for arrhythmia) / ECHOcardiogram (for clot) / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG – for
ischemia) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.

The treating doctor can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
