I had a bit of an episode yesterday. I had gone to a winery with my mom and some friends. I had 2 glasses of wine and was enjoying myself. When it came time to leave, I began to feel dizzy, but wasn't even tipsy. I figured I just stood up too fast, but let my mother drive. When we got to her house, I was feeling fine and got out of the truck to get in the driver's seat. I suddenly got really dizzy and the next thing I knew, I was waking up on the ground. I went into my mom's house and took my blood pressure. It was something like 82/49. I sat there and drank some water and waited until my blood pressure came up and then drove home. I skipped my BP med last night. This morning I went to the doctor and my BP was 117/72, and that was after coffee and vaping. The doctor told me to stop my BP med and monitor my BP. If it starts to go up, then I'm to restart it once a day instead of 2x. Of course, I can't find my BP monitor so I've ordered another.
It's scary with a drop in blood pressure, but you took the right steps by drinking water when you got home, to increase your blood pressure.
And it's smart to contact your GP when your blood pressure is that low, I've experienced 90/60 and it was spooky, yours with 82/49 is extreme.
You'll have to find the meter or get one so that you can measure your pressure at home under calm conditions.
Hope it gets better for you.

    I tend toward low bp so I use LNMT electrolytes every day, especially if feeling dizzy. They have a lot of good science backed info on their site, if you are interested and you can get a free sample pack with any order as well. I am not pushing the site, just sharing what works for me.

    Morning, mixers.

    More rain, still cool. Mid 60s guess for 3 days starting Monday is now for 2 days starting Tuesday. I suspect by tonight that will be one day starting Wednesday. :)

    it was something like 82/49.

    Very not good! Smart to skip the night dose and to go straight to your PCP. Good luck getting back to normal ranges!!

    Good morning random folks, I've been feeling a lot better since stopping the BP med. I actually got in a workout last night and this morning. I don't know what my BP is running right now but my new monitor will arrive today. My brother is coming today to help me unload the rest of the bedroom set I bought off of Craigslist this week. A 5 piece set for $100, in fair condition. The armoire and dresser were to heavy for me to unload myself so I've been driving around with them still in my truck.

    Good morning random folks.:) Have you any plans today?
    The wife is going to our youngest daughter’s house to help her with some stuff and I’ve been assigned the duty of shopping for stuff at Sam’s Club. I don’t mind going by myself. I can get what’s on the list and be done.

    It will be a better shopping day for you.

    Good afternoon, Terri.:) Did you find a new home to put your bedroom set in?

    Pretty much. I haven't closed on it, but the dealer isn't showing it to others. Still awaiting bids for the septic tank and siding/decking. I should have those by next week, Monday or Tuesday.

    It was. I’m back already. One store and done. It was not uneventful though. It was really busy and some rude woman ran into my cart while I was scanning my items with my phone.
