[QUOTE="Sue Morton, post: 145583, member: 26414"] Hi, your blood pressure isn't that low but you do have a period in which after having high blood pressure that your body needs time to adjust. Part of this maybe getting headaches. the lower part of your BP should be between 60 to 80 and the higher part should be between 100 to 130 so a normal BP should read something in the region of 120/80 the lower one 80 is the pressure of your blood entering the heart and the higher one 120 is blood leaving your heart. So ranging from 60 to 80 as the lower part and 100 to 130 the high part is viewed as normal - Google Blood pressure chart and this will show you the ranges. Low BP is 90/60 and below. See your doctor immediately. It does take a couple of weeks for your body to adjust the same as when you find that your type 2 with a reading of say 25.3 and given metformin to reduce your blood sugar your body reacts making you feel ill as your sugar has dropped and your body isn't used to this so you feel dizzy and can have headaches and feel shaky till your body adjusts to normal or getting to normal BS. The same with your BP give it a chance but keep an eye on it and hopefully once your body has accepted the reduce BP things will adjust but if your still getting the headaches you may need to see your doctor. I started to get headaches when I started taking metformin but these are now few and hardly ever. Best of luck Sue :D [/QUOTE]
