blood pressure?

Hi again:

Has anyone noticed their blood pressure dropping during times of high symptoms? My blood pressure used to be around 120/70 - 130/80, somewhere in that range, depending on the situation. My GP asked me to monitor my BP when I was having symptoms that I thought were hyper--dizzy, headache, heart racing--- (he thought that was impossible because I'm hypo--)... so I thought he was being rediculous (as usual), but I started monitoring at different times and noticed that when I'm feeling bad my BP is around 107/55 and my pulse is around 80 (during the times before when I was feeling hyper-type symptoms my pulse would be around 95). I phoned the doc with this info, but he said that's a perfectly reasonable BP so not to worry. While I'm not exactly worried, I do wonder why my BP would be so much lower?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dee.

I can't imagine why that would be. You would think it would be just the opposite. Cathy :)
