What Causes Headache, Dizziness, Vomiting And Sore Throat?
Hi,Been feeling ill for almost two weeks. Started with headaches, sore throat and hot flushes. Just assumed it was a touch of Flu.All through though been having dizziness. Monitored my blood pressure on an Omron monitor that we have at home. Reading seem to range from 98/67 - 103/69. Flu symptoms seem to have passed but still having headaches, hots flushes, dizziness throughout the day and now vomiting the last two nights dispite feeling hungry.Just wander if I'm over reacting by seeing my Dr and if he deems my pressure to be unusually low for me, what could do?Many thanks.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The lower limit of blood pressure is 90/60 though some persons may have blood pressure lower than this with no symptoms because this blood pressure is normal for them.
Additional some persons may have symptoms of hypotension (low blood pressure) at higher values because the blood pressure has dropped from their higher normal value.
Some of your symptoms may be due to your blood pressure readings. Your doctor may adjust medications if you are using any at the moment.
In addition, you also need to use more fluids.
He or she would also try to determine the source of the low readings.
I hope this helps
