You should go to the ER... better yet, you should call your local EMS provider via 911.

IV fluids will bring it up... but to keep that blood pressure for a long time is very dangerous.

Is it making you very sleepy or dizzy? Are on you a beta blocker or blood pressure meds? Do you usually have problems? If you have a cardiologist it sounds like you already have some issues. If this is unusual for you, you might call a medical help line and get advice or go to a clinic, I know you have a hundred things to do but you can't do them at all if you're dead...I have to tell myself that, sometimes.

One test is not enough information. Have you checked it since? Check it three times in 30 minutes for an average. If you are on legal drugs( Prescription drugs). That could be the cause.

When I had an episode of low blood pressure, my doctor told me to take Sudafed because the caffeine would help raise my BP. I don't know if that would be safe for you or not, since some heart conditions are made worse by cold/flu medications. Does your health insurance have an advice nurse you can call?

If you can't get your BP up and you're not feeling better, you should see if there is anyone else who can pick up your husband and kids. Call a cab if that's the only other option. It's really not safe to drive in your current condition, and a car accident will only make everything worse.

Hope you feel better very soon!

i dont want to freak you out but that probably your hearts going to stop beating soon

Below 90/60 could be low blood pressure. If you are suffering from faintness and actual fainting spells then it could be low blood pressure. If you feel fine then you don't have a problem.

A web search for "low blood pressure" + symptoms will give you further information.
