How come no one answered my post?
I posted the post about my husband having really low blood pressure & am concerned about it. His blood pressure was 80 over 60 & then the second time the nurse took it it was 86 over 60. He even mentioned it being even lower today which really made me angry

!!! Cause I don't want him hiding something like that from me!!! He was having back problems & pain in his belly button area when he pees. I'm wondering what could be the cause of the low blood pressure, back pain, & pain in the belly button caused by peeing. Does anyone have an idea?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

First off if he's having back and abdominal pain, particularly during urination he should see his doc or a urologist. Could have kidney stones, blockage, a urinary tract infection, or something causing referred pain. As far as his hypotension, was this something that just started recently or does he have a history of this? If it is recent, I would be concerned that along with the other symptoms you described that he may have an internal bleed or blockage. Make an appointment for him to see a doc right away. Good luck, and God bless.

Hello thankyou for your reply.
He has had a history of low blood pressure ever since he was a kid. What do you mean by blockage, do you mean an artery blockage or some other type of blockage cause you didn't say for sure? I kind of wondered if it had to do with the kidneys too. Well anyways he said the pain has gone away for now, hopefully it stays that way!!!

Rainstorm,

I don't think the back and belly button problems are related to the hypotension. Just so I understand your concern a little better, what is it that is worrying you about your husband's blood pressure. Yes, it is on the low side compared to normal; however, mine with medication runs 90/60 normally and was 88/56 when I finished exercising yesterday morning. I felt fantastic. Is he experiencing any symptoms related to hypotension? Is he feeling very tired, run down, or sleeping more than what you think is normal?

Yes as a matter of fact he does sleep more than usual.
I don't know of any other symptoms, I asked him if he had any other symptoms & he said no.
