  • Sudden drops in blood pressure can be life-threatening. Causes of this type of hypotension include:
    Loss of blood from bleeding
    Low body temperature
    High body temperature
    Heart muscle disease causing heart failure
    Sepsis, a severe blood infection
    Severe dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, or fever
    A reaction to medication or alcohol
    A severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis


    Have you or did you experience any of these?? That sounds reallyyy low.. have you checked in with doctors about it?
  • Hmm idk. I was the exact opposite. Mine was like 150/90 everytime after I gave birth.
  • @1stwoodsbaby I'm still at the hospital the tech took my bp and said something ab it being low. I guess I'll ask my doc in the a.m ab it. Although I have lost quite a bit of blood
  • Maybe the loss of blood has to do with it.. hopefully they'll get it regulated before you go home. Congrats on your little one! Hope he is doing great!
