But this week it is low... 100/60.......105/ 65..... one morning it was even 88/58 all on my right arm. Left is always a bit higher. The weather is gloomy. I am taking 25mg pills against high blood pressure. Is this normal?

Hi. Welcome to HCM. I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Usually blood pressure less than 90/6)mmhg is considered as significant hypotension /low blood pressure. So, yes you have problem of hypertension sometimes.

So my advice to you is - ask your doctor about 24 hrs ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. This test will measure your blood pressure automatically at home.. The results of this will guide your doctor about readjustment of your BP medication.

Meanwhile if you have any further episode of low blood pressure, you can reduce the dosage to half at that point of time.

So, my advice to you is go for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring recording and readjust your blood pressure medications dosage and frequency.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
