Under [not enough] Pressure

Blood pressure was low yesterday morning so just took a 1/2 a pill.  Dropped to a point I nearly passed out when standing up at one point.  Only got up to 105/72 by 5pm last night (pulse of 75). It's just 85/62 this morning with a pulse of 109 (pulse would be that high because the bp is so low).  No idea what's up but it could stop and I'd be happy.  Need to eat something for breakfast then try to lay down and stay down for the morning.

Haven't taken anything since yesterday morning.  When I took it just now it was up to 115/80, pulse 93.  Will drop again overnight -- if it follows a normal pattern -- but hopefully won't drop TOO much.

Fae, are you drinking alcohol?  Did you start another med recently?  Did you STOP drinking coffee?

No alcohol (none in the last 3 weeks, not even in cooking; rarely drink anyway because of my pain Rx), no new meds, & stopped coffee and other caffeine when I started the bp-Rx months ago (makes the pulse race). So no major changes. I am staying hydrated (though dehydration tends to increase bp).

BP tonight is back up into a normal range, so I hope that the weirdness is over with.
