HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you are on some antihypertensive medicines then such lower of blood pressure may happen if you do not have hypertension, but in my opinion better to get done the blood pressure because chances of error could be likely if you do it your self, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
