My mother aged 76 has hypertension (20+years) her reading is somewhere between (140 to 160/90 sometimes 180 also) but surprisingly past 20 days, her BP reading is as low as 90/51 to 110/58-60. Sometimes she complains of a severe headache. When we check at home, her reading still shows low. She needs to check every time before taking her BP Tab (Telma H 40 mg) She used to take LN BLOC 10 MG TABLET for few years. But now she has stopped taking it. Presently she is taking only Dilzem Tablet (occasionally) if her reading is around 130/80. But past 3 days her BP is low 110/50. So we have stopped all the tablet. Kindly advise what could be the reason for the LOW BP. Do we need to take any tests or any precautions for SOS.

Dear lybrate-user, no need to worry about the fluctation, some time it may alter with the diet esp. Low sodium diet, just keep check with your physician. If neede your Gp may suggest some investigation. Otherwise no need to worry, do not stop any medicine by your own intution. Just consult with your GP.

Please maintain the chart of BP and communicate with her doctor. Regular personal check up ( personal checking of all the vital parameters is important ) and some investigations would be helpful to know the reason. At the same time let her be disciplined about her lifestyle ( daily routine and the healthy diet ).
