What Causes Dizziness And Fatigue While Suffering From Low BP?

At what point is blood pressure dangerously low? I tend toward low blood pressure anyway. Sometimes I experience dizziness, weakness, and on rare occasions, fainting. I am on a low dose beta blocker to treat SVT, and my doctor recently raised my dose. I am noticing that I have had dizziness and weakness most of the time, since the increase; although, it hasn t been severe enough to make me black out. I have a blood pressure cuff, but it s not consistent, in that I can get several very different readings within a few minutes, so I don t think it works right. I just go by how my body is feeling. Other than calling my doctor in the morning, do you have any recommendations for now?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Anything below 80/60 is serious because if BP becomes that much low vital organs perfusion goes down and brain, kidney, and other organs can't get enough perfusion. If such symptoms occur do cardiologist consult.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
