Got up this morning and felt fine. Then I started feeling light headed and sort of sluggish like. Took my BP and it was 109/48 with pulse of 57, took it later and readings were 104/55 pulse was 66. The latest reading was 118/57 pulse 60. I am on BP meds and diabetic meds Type 2. Are my BP readings too low?

Hello. I read your question carefully.
It is normal to have low blood pressure in various times of the day. Although, I would not say that your BP levels are low. If the systolic BP goes under 90 mmHg, it is recommended that you reconsult the dosage of hypertension medication(s). In addition, I would recommend performing an echocardiogram for assessment of the heart muscle function and the valves.
I hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask again
