What Causes Low Blood Pressure During Prostate Cancer?
My husband's grandfather has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Over the past few weeks he has become very weak. We finally got a referral to an Oncolgist which he saw on Monday, who told us that his particular cause was at stage 9 out of 10. Last night he had very low blood pressure reading of 80/60 and this morning 80/40, so he is now at a hospital. What would cause his blood pressure to drop so low?
Prostate cancer per se does not cause low blood pressure. The low pressure could be due to poor oral intake if he has not been eating and drinking well. Or it could be due to an unrelated cause like overdose of an anti-hypertensive. Either way, it should get corrected in a day or two.
