<human>: I had a drop of BP 70/30 for around 5 minutes and the came back to  117/70. I was resting from asthma attack at that time. I had hypertension for 8 years and taking medication 5mg of amlodepine two times daily. Just two years ago I started taking omega 3 and my BP went normal 120/80. However, I still continued my amplodipine but only 5mg daily. Then I started experiencing really low BP but would be back to normal within minutes. My pulse rate is still within the range of 60-80 per minute. I am 54 years old and 85 kilos and 170mm tall. What could be happening why I sometime experience very low BP.
<bot>: Hello, Brief answer: Low blood pressure in multiple occasions is an indication to reconsider antihypertensives. Explanation: My opinion is that with asthmatic attacks, people experience some symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness with exaggerated inhalation and exhalation blood pressure may Chat Doctor.  So, depending on blood pressure reading at or shortly after asthmatic attack is inefficient. Low blood pressure readings in your case, if away from asthmatic attacks and measured accurately that is an indication to lower your antihypertensives dosage or even stop it in some occasions to prevent low blood pressure complications. I suggest my patients the following: stop Amlodipine, monitor blood pressure readings, and follow-up. Conclusion: I suggest you measure blood pressure away from asthmatic attacks and revise your physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
