[|Human|] Hi,I am a woman, 90 years old, weight 139 lbs., heighta little under 5 ft. In April/10, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure for the first time and put on PMS AMLODIPINE 5 mg. once a day. My bp since then has been in the normal range including 10 days ago at my family doctors office. Yesterday at the at the pharmacy it was 99/56. Also I was feeling light-headed - less so this morning -which is why I went to the pharmacy.My family doctor is now on holiday. Should I investigate further?
[|AI|]  I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. That blood pressure is low indeed. Of course if it persists it should be investigated with evaluation of heart function through EKG and ultrasonography. However before that since you are under a blood pressure lowering pill like Amlodipine, if low values persist then first step would be to interrupt that medication, Amlodipine, and monitor blood pressure. It is likely that simply by interrupting Amlodipine and staying well HY Chat Doctor. I hope to have been of help.
