Low blood pressure

I have been on IVs for the past 2 weeks and since then I have been having really low blood pressure. Yesterday it was 80/54.

I am on Lisinopril to protect my kidneys (thanks CFRD!). I have been on it for probably 6 months and run around 104/64, which is already low.

Anyone experience something like this? My clinic says that their patients usually run low, but still... this low seems strange to me.

It is causing me to be really woozy. Which I initially thought was side affects from the drugs, but I guess I was wrong.

I have low blood pressure too. It's been roughly that low in the hospital and they've checked it 2 and 3 times to make sure it was correct. They ended up not doing anything about it, anyway. This is really weird considering the ungodly amount of salt I consume. >_>

I don't have any suggestions, sorry, I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone!

mine runs low too. i always make the joke when someone asks me how my blood pressure was and i say i'm dead. mine normally runs around 90/60. it goes up when i get really ticked off proved that in my last hospital stay. don't talk to me about me not having a picc after two days and try to take my blood pressure at the same time. what's werid is i figured mine would go up a little bit being pregnant, but it hasn't. but i've been told that my pressure is fine. to try and boost it you can try drinking more fluids. i think i read that somewhere.

Mine is always very low too, around that and sometimes lower. The mornings are always the lowest. Nurses always ask me if I feel okay and if it's typical for me, I say Yes, and they say Okay. I think they would get worried if it wasn't your norm. If you're uncomfortable with how low it is, you should definitely say something and have them check it out.
