You sure do have a very low blood pressure...hypo-tensive, I think is the term....I used to have a somewhat low blood pressure, about 110/60...I had to be careful, when I got out of bed in the morning, because resting my blood pressure was low, and then when I got up, the blood pressure would drop even more, and I would tend to get light headed and dizzy, and sometimes would pass out....

Tho, as I aged, my blood pressure for some reason, slowly began to rise more towards more normal readings...

Its all the more odd, because just about everyone, my mom, my dad, my brother, my dads sister, my cousins, all have high blood pressure and some need medication for it...I on the other hand, am the 'odd' one, having low blood pressure...

Yes, I know about the dropping blood pressure. First you hear white noise in your ears. Then you see blue and black dots after the room gets done with it's wavy dance.. then you hit the floor. Oh, and you feel your face get cold and white.
I tend to have the opposite problem. My blood pressure has consitently dropped since I was 15. (The lowest My blood pressure got was 60 over 50, heart rate 60... I was conscious.. but I couldn't see, hear, or feel anyone touching me. But I sure talked my fool head off! The doc asked if I ever shut up.........)
