Is the blood pressure previously normal and now low or has it been always low ? Does she have any symptoms of low bp like dizziness or fainting? Or confusion ? If she always had similar bp and having no symptoms then nothing to worry. If previous bp was normal and now suddenly dropped it can be due to steroid withdrawal. Need to know further details for more interpretation
