Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that the situation is not concerning.

You may be at risk for low blood pressure in the next 12 hours.

For this reason it is important having some rest and taking plenty of water to avoid low blood pressure.

A close monitoring of blood pressure values is necessary in the next hours.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,
