We have taken her to the er and now the doctors are running test. Her blood pressure is 101/62. She takes 2 types of BP pills and now the dr. has stopped the water pill all together until next app. in a wk. She is looking dehydrated. What could be the cause of her feeling this way. She has also gone from 130lbs. to 174 within a month
