Should I worry about my low BP?

Hi, I am 34 y.o. female, generaaly healthy except that I'm taking pravacol for high cholestrol and was tested with slight hyperthyroidism and vit D deficiency a month ago.

Two days ago, I started to feel dizzy in the morning, and it gradually became worse and was accompanied by feelings of nauseous, chest pain, weakness, and cold sweating with fainting spells. I basically could not sit or move at all and felt like fainting even when lying down.  My BP was 120/70 when normal, but it was like 85/40ish yesterday.  No fever or bleeding or anything like that.  Today, I finally start to feel better and my BP is backed up to 100/60.  

I have never had anything like this happen to me in the past.  What could this be?  Do I need to worry about it (seems I'm ok now)?

It happens with women with cholesterol. Cholesterol attracts low BP, joint pain and breathing problems, hyperthyroidism, diabetes. Take good amount of calcium and vitamin D3 in your food and exercise 4-5 days a week. Drink good amount of water. I know this because my aunt had the same problem.

Hi,i know how your feeling,i  am metoprolol for heart. I have never had high bp before but doctor said I needed it. My bp runs about 85/45 I was feeling dizzy and sick to my stomach, and a hazzy feeling almost non real or ddreamy feeling, I told the doctor but he said the lower the better as long as I was not feeling faint or fainting,which I think is kinda crazy but aboutt 5 months of taking meds it faded. My bp is still really low but doctor said the way I was feeling was side effects of meds and body was just not use to it yet. Now im not dizzy, but if I were u,i would tell doctor about your symptoms,mays meds are just not right for you.my mom went threw 5 until she found one that works with her body. The chest pain I wouldnt ignore. So call your doctor,and good luck,hope u feel better
