CRT D patient having low BP

Hi ,

I have got Saint Jude's CRTD implanted in January 2016. Off lately my Blood Pressure has been keeping very low at times going below 50.

Recently I have started getting vomitting and feel very weak tired. Is this due cold weather as I do keep getting cough and cold very often. Wanted check if anyone else also has similar difficulties. I'm 69 years old.

Open to any suggestions.

Thanks alot .

ER is probably a good idea, better safe than sorry. Sometimes the medcs you are on will bring bp down too much. Nothing you've described is assoiated with pacing. The pacer will keep your rate up, the CRT part will keep your ventricles in sync, the D part is there in case your heart gets into a dangerous rhythm.

You are always wired and full of energy.
