Blood pressure very low

Hi there, 

I usually suffer from lightheadedness/dizziness when I stand up from lying or sitting and have done for quite some time. It usually corrects if I just steady myself for a few moments.

However today I have woken up with extreme lightheadedness that does not seem to be related to that and my balance when walking is not great. It has lasted a few hours so far. I took my blood pressure just now and it was 76/58. I am just concerned whether I need to see someone today or whether I should just check it again in an hour or so. I think I will go and see a doctor as a routine appointment as soon as I can get a slot but I’m quite concerned - is this reading very low?

Thanks, 

Emma

    Oops very low yes see some one to low the systolic should be no more less than 90 110/80 is okay no more than 135/80 see your doctor , possibly some heart spesialist who knows little more , and check the medications you take , blood pressure is no stable , the body connected as one , especially with those autoimmune disorders we have I feel the pain now , the body talk in his own way , same way you ask here he talk to you , do something he say see your doctor , what is the cause to be to low ? Talking about immune we talk about our blood , the white cells , primarily, but the life is within the blood who we all have inherited, I have bamboo spine from AS on the MRI I do my reumatologist tell me I see it o no need to read the paper work , yes best see someone is no normal is far to low when the diastolic Drop to low the kidneys can locked , if I was you I do see the doctor that is what I do , and I ask him to do some checks even blood tests
