    hi Okientexas I have just read your comment to Benchong if you are getting dizzie after working you need to see a Doctor asap you must start drinking water in case you are dehydrated which will make you dizzy I would like to point out we have no Doctors on this site thank you

    Thanks for the information, I do take medication for high BP and most of the time its in check. I am 76 years and take lots of pills for this and that, but I do like to stay on top of my BP readings.

    Okieintexas as I said before we are not Doctors on this I still belive you should get you BP checked out as you said you check it your self and being 76 yrs old your blood pressure will go down but I am worried for you as you do take BP tablets as well please go to the Doctors to get it checked out you might be just taking to much medication and your Doctor needs to know about this and the dizzy spells

      I think that is fine mine is low as well but the Doctors say they are not worried as I walk 5 miles per day this does keep your blood pressure down if you do a lot of exercise if you are worried get it checked out by your Doctor

            I have a home blood pressure device and most of the time its around 132/85 or so, this morning I was outside doing some work and felt dizzy. So I came in the house and checked my BP and it was 112/64. Should I be worried about it?

            It wouldn't hurt to call your doctor. He'll put your mind at ease, or he'll be able to instruct you immediately what to do.

            I think that's good. I have to take a pill to keep my pressure down, but the pill works!

              If you are not using a mercury type of blood pressure device, you should get three readings and take the average.  Electronic devices flutuate.  If I were you, I would be happy with a reading of 112/64.  However, there is to harm to have a word with your doctor.
