Low Blood Pressure Conundrum

[twigsforever]

Over the last 2-3 weeks I started to get a little lightheaded when standing after sitting for 10 minutes or so.

I check and log BP every morning at 5am and every night before bed, around 9pm.

Readings are pretty consistent around 115-120/65-80 with HR at 72-80bpm. Blood oxygen always around 97-99 at 75-80bpm.

• 385 test, 300 mast and 6iu (4 before bed, 2 5am before fasted cardio).
• I have nattokinase but haven't taken any.
• Started finasteride yesterday.
• Other supps: ALA, arterial protect, berberine, fish oil, plant sterols. Also multi, D3, K2, DIM and just recently added NAC and milk thistle (after lightheadedness appeared).
• I drink 4-5 liters of water every day, prior to two weeks ago I only took LMNT during workout, but since the lightheadedness appeared I've been taking one during my 2 rest days as well. I did show sodium on the low side on my last comprehensive blood panel.

I'm not lightheaded immediately upon waking nor getting up in middle of night to piss. But I have noticed when looking back through my logs, my BP will sometimes read 97/75 on a morning when I've experienced lightheadedness during the day.

I'm at a loss as to why or what is happening. I feel fine otherwise.

My heart rate seems consistent, and aside from the occasional low BP reading, BP always looks fine. I feel great but I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I have lost 70+lbs over 7 months, and didn't start tracking my BP until about a month before I started my current cycle.

Anyone have any thoughts?

115/120 65-80 is perfect BP, not low

Sounds like you did a heck of a transformation.
Your numbers are within the textbook ranges for being normal.

How old are you?

Do you have any low blood sugar issues, or does that run in your family, diabetes or hypoglycemia?

Get into a habit of testing your glucose as well.

One more thing, what does your caffeine consumption look like daily? If there is any..

That’s a pretty significant weight loss in just 7 months. Makes you wonder if your body’s still adjusting, especially with those occasional low BP readings.

Your age ?

That’s the only thing I can think, body is still adjusting.

I’ll be 48 in a few weeks.

It’s when it hits 90’s is my concern. And even then I wouldn’t think twice about 90’s if not for becoming lightheaded.
