A blood pressure reading of 88/53 with a heart rate of 43 is considered dangerously low and requires immediate medical attention. This is especially concerning for someone with MG since low blood pressure can be a complication of treatments like plasmapheresis.

A blood pressure reading of 88/53 with a heart rate of 43 is considered dangerously low and requires immediate medical attention. This is especially concerning for someone with MG since low blood pressure can be a complication of treatments like plasmapheresis.

Please call emergency services or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room immediately. Do not attempt to drive yourself. While waiting for help, lie down with your feet elevated slightly above your heart level. After receiving emergency care, it's important to follow up with your MG specialist to review your treatment plan and medications, as they may need adjustment. Make sure to bring someone with you to medical appointments when you're experiencing symptoms like this, as fatigue and low blood pressure can make it unsafe to travel alone.
