Q: I am a 53 year old male in bank service, weighing 60 Kgs, Height 5ft 7Inches. I do not have any disease, except that I get fatigued easily. I am otherwise healthy. My B.P is low 90/60, 100/60. I am warned that I may fall unconscious if I do not take proper food intake regularly. Is low BP a health problem? How to get cured from this?

A:Low BP is usually not a primary problem and generally needs to be evaluated for possible causes. It maybe that the tiredness is connected with this. I would suggest that you should see a competent Physician, who would be the best person to evaluate this and recommend any course of treatment, if indicated.
