Hi,
BP is fine, you just monitor it, if it's going down then you need to reduce the dose of medicine. Normally palpitations will not decrease the BP but rate goes above 100 then BP starts falling. If BP is too low say less than 100 then you should reconfirm it and have salt, sugar, and water. Otherwise there is no matter of worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
