how low is your blood pressure? i think low blood pressure by itself is generally not dangerous, unless it drops so low as to be a state of shock. when i was discharged from the hospital last week, my blood pressure was in the 80s (don't remember the diastolic number), and they were unfazed and had no problem with letting me leave. does your blood pressure drop when you go from lying down or sitting to standing? i would just be careful to stand up slowly so as to prevent lightheadedness and faiting. good luck! cb
