Blackout with BP 90/60
Hi Dr. My family member recently had black out for a minute or two , 2 times in 2 days. We checked and her BP is around 90/60 ( not sure about reading in the past as we never checked) Is this a big concern ? Is the main reason for the blackout or should we go for other tests ?
