His BP runs 90-108 over 60 so not as low as yours. Most people would envy that reading but I wonder if it is contributory. He sometimes has the dizzy spell getting out of the car...in other words..rising from a lower position. I know he gets it when we work outside and he has been stooped for a period of time.
Bill drinks plenty of fluids and is eating very well so I don't think that is the problem although we have not had blood work run in a while. It will soon be time to check his thyroid.
