What Causes Dizziness And Low Blood Pressure Levels?
My husband is presently in the hospital, he s had several strokes. He s been in rehab and improving everyday. Yesterday, in between his therapy sessions he was sitting in a we wheelchair and he got t h feeling he was going to pass out. They took his blood pressure and it had dropped t o 58/37. What could have caused this
I advise you to get an ECG, 2D Echo, lipid profile, hsCRP immediately to confirm the diagnosis. Monitor your blood pressure regularly. Take fluids 3-4 litres per day. If blood pressure is less than 80/60 mm hg you may need intravenous fluids. Drugs like Clopilet, Ecosprin, Atorvastatin, Inotrope like digoxin will be helpful. Coronary angiogram with or without stenting will be the procedure of choice. Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
