How To Treat Low Blood Pressure?

I went running yesterday and got very dizzy afterwards. My blood pressure was way down. 75/58 but I increased my blood pressure medicine since my blood pressure had been up so I didn t take it today. It is slowing going up but not normal yet. 107/69 24hrs later and I just notices I have about 50 red bumps up and down my thighs. Any thoughts. My neck is also stiff but that is not unusual just a little stiffer than normal. Thanks

Hi welcome to HCM.
Low blood pressure has to be promptly treated when detected.Drugs like fludrocortisone and midodrine have to be administered in lowest doses.Adequate hydration is a must.Maintain fluid input of 3-5 liters a day.Elevate the foot end of the bed at sleep.A screening two dimensional echo of the heart can be helpful to assess the cardiac output.Maintain the blood pressure around 110/80 mm of hg.Drugs like loratidine can control the insect rash of your lower limb if any.Consult your cardiologist for further help.
Thank you.
