Definitely go see your doctor. The dizziness sounds like it correlates with having a blood pressure of 93/74, which is lower than the average blood pressure. There are some people who normally walk around with that blood pressure, and they are fine. It depends what your typical, usual blood pressure is when you feel healthy.

Dizziness and low blood pressure is usually treated by increasing the salt and fluid intake.

However, if this improved your blood pressure and dizziness but caused you breathing discomfort, that is not normal, and could represent a problem.

Your doctor needs to listen to your lungs, and evaluate whether there is a heart or lung abnormality that caused a little extra salt to cause fluid to build up in your lungs.

Please get that checked out, and let us know what happens.
