Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. Low blood pressure could be related to loose stools. You need to be adequately hydrated with juice, fluids, etc. If you have vomiting, then, intravenous fluids would also be needed.

Also, the cause of sleepiness or drowsiness should be looked for. It could be low sodium in the blood.

You would get better with appropriate treatment.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
