very low weight and low blood presure

Well I'm 21 5`2  I weigh 90lbs now and I have not been really in the mood to eat past few weeks, I usually don't have an apetite a week before I start my period but after I'm done with it, I eat non stop. And I don't have a problem eating.  I put a few pounds on and it goes away quick less then a week. I think I'm starting to look very thin. Went to eye doc cause had a problem with my left eye but he said I had very low blood pressure, and I think I might have some bad symptoms over the past year from it and still. Does anyone know what maybe causing this?

Hi there,
Low blood pressure can be caused due to low blood volume, hormonal changes, widening of blood vessels, medicine side effects, anemia, heart problems or endocrine problems. There can be several reasons for unexplained weight loss like thyroid hormone imbalances, diabetes mellitus, worm infestation, anaemia etc.Stress, poor eating habits can also lead to weight loss. Treatment of hypotension depends on the cause. It is best to get evaluated for the above mentioned causes. You need to have a nutritious diet rich in all essential minerals and vitamins. It is best to get a general check up done to rule out any pathological causes. Do keep us posted.
Take care and regards!
