What Causes Dizziness, Hot Flashes And Low BP?
Question: My husband got dizzy and started sweating in church. When we got home, his blood pressure was 94/58, 98/50, 97/60. He was feeling much better by the time we took his blood pressure. He takes several blood pressure medications. What should we do?
Brief Answer:
Take much fluids
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
I would advise your husband to take fluids, unless he has heart or renal failure.
For today he'd better stay in the bed.
For upcoming days check the blood pressure before taking the blood pressure medications. Sometimes there is a decrease in blood pressure in summer, so there is a need to decrease blood pressure medications.
In case he has other symptoms such chest pain, dyspnea or other serious complaints, I would advise you to refer to ER.
Hope I could help you
Wishing good health to your husband
