What Causes Low Blood Pressure And Hypothermia?

My husband has pancreataic cancer. He is taking chemo and oxycodene. Before bedtime he was freezing cold and had on multiple layers of clothing. His temp was 97.9. At 1:35 am it is 95.1 and his blood pressure is 80/51 and pulse is 64. Should we be concerned?

Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I think you should take him to ER asap. Blood pressure 80/51 is considerably low. He would need intravenous fluids.

Hope this helps.
