I am told, recently, that having one's blood pressure do a dip like yours and mine does can actually be dangerous. Something about the brain not getting as much blodd volume as it normally would, thus less oxygen, thus possible damage.
Don't know about that, I've been experiencjing this for years with no ill effect..
Now where did my clothes go?
Seriously though, hear anything about this?

No, I have never been told that this happening was dangerous....the main danger, was that if I got up to quickly from a resting position, that I could pass out and bang my head....so I just been told to get up, very slooooowly....
Tho, my blood pressure has risen over the years to a more normal level, and since then, I have not had problems....
However, your blood pressure level is much lower than mine ever was....Since your doctor would know about how low your normal blood pressure reading is, I would assume that he would be the best one to advise you about it...
