Low blood pressure and perimenopause

Posted , 2 users are following.

Can this be a symptom? I've been diagnosed with resting hypotension with no known cause. it cycles but lately I'm getting it every other week. My blood pressure drops whenever I'm resting to as low as 49bpm. I'm gasping for air at night as it is dropping so low. it is so scary. I just want to cry all the time as there is no help 😞

      No, this comes on suddenly, my heart rate drops to around 55 bpm. I drunk loads of water during the day, electrolytes definable can help during an episode and interestingly doctors recommend this to low blood patients
