does anyone with low blood pressure get symptoms of it? i have been getting chronically dizzy and lightheaded lately, and the doctors switch between blaming my anemia and my blood pressure. i fear my heart is just going to give up one day and say 'dude, this is nuts, i cant handle this anymore!' and just stop. whenever i get pregnant i go the opposite way and end up on stroke watch because it sits at around 160/110.


anyway, it's interesting there's more with lower than higher bp.

I reckon it's your anemia! ,medication can cause probs too! anyhow go back to the specialist if you are having dizzy spells,that should not happen,we don't want you passing out on us!

Yep - me!! I've been known to black out and fall over just getting up off the couch I quite often get dizzy and light headed, but there's not much that can be done about it, other than just being aware of it, and not getting up too quickly!!
