I also had a very weird thing happen one time that my cardiologist said must have been caused by a vasovagal response,(due to what we don't know).
I was getting over being sick, and suddenly I felt like I was going to fall over in my chair. My vision started to look like I was watching things through a black and white tv filled with static. Windows with sun coming through them were wicked bright. I managed to get my BP machine out and took my pressure,....it was 59/38 with a pulse of 64!!!
I knew something was wrong when I saw my pulse, because that severe drop in blood pressure should have caused a large increase in my heart rate to attempt and raise it back to normal. That would be the case in a volume depleted person, i.e. dehydration.
I laid down and it gradually came back to normal and has never happened again. I can't believe I maintained consciousness.
You don't have to have diabetes to get hypoglycemic, especially if you have worked harder than usual or missed or had a light meal.
I don't think I've ever had low blood pressure. My problems are the other way.
i have been on 10mg lisinopril for 7 years, was taken off for a year due to exercise and weight loss, then mild hypertension came back 140/90ish area which is high for me, then reaching 160/90ish , so back on the pill again,and a smooth 120/80 for years, lately its been 104/60 = light headed, dizzy, blurred vision, star flashes , pain in my eyes , feels like im running fever but im not, cut my meds back 1/2 last week but no help, still waiting on my 3rd world doctor {thanks to obomocare}
to call back, i think im just going to stop it and see
not dehydrated i drink alot of water all day
mine is no ware near that low marc ,i dont think i could handle that

May not be just a blood pressure issue. You need to see a doctor, third world or otherwise. If those symptoms continue go to an ER or at least am urgent care clinic.
BTW, that extreme hypotensive event with me was a one time thing thank God. I did have a BP like yours though when they were messing with my meds early on.
Sometimes you have to give the dose adjustment two or three weeks to really see what things are going to be like. As long as your above 90/60 you should be ok, but might feel like crap. Put a little sea salt in your water, and give it another week might be worth a shot.
ETA: On second thought after looking at all of your symptoms, you probably should see someone asap. That's a lot of strange symptoms that I didn't have when I ran pressures like yours. I was mainly tired and a tiny bit dizzy.
gave the nurse all my symptoms, nothing yet
actually i have increased my salt intake, i made a ghost pepper salt similar to sriracha , since then its been more salt daily than normal, stopping the meds tonight
My husband's blood pressure was extremely low (normal sitting down and then dropping to 50/63 when standing up) for many many years.
We spent 5 days at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for them to just tell him to increase his salt intake, raise the head of the bed so he wasn't laying flat at night and continue to take his med (sorry can't remember name).
It can be very very serious. It eventually killed him because his blood pressure dropped so low that his heart could not keep beating.
Instead of his heart valves closing when he stood up they would open.
NOT that you would have anything like that, just saying DO NOT mess around with your health.
Get to doctor.
anyone have experience with this ?
High BP?
NEVER!--- I'm married with children.
Wife alone is good for a +20 at rest.

Yes I'm on meds for it.
