Hi, I just recovered from a viral fever 2 days ago.
And since sterday I was feeling a lil dizzy.. When I checked my BP it's varying from 94 to 107 / 72
With pulse being 80.
Is it normal for the BP to go low after a viral fever?
I m taking electoral as well. Let me know if I should add anything to make myself feel better.

Tab vertin 4mg - twice daily for 3 days.
Tab Reconia - Once at bedtime for 15 days.
Tab bifilac - Once at bedtime for 7 days.
Continue Electral - 2 litres daily for 3 days.
Proper rest, hydration and nutrition is the only goal.
Next Steps
If symptoms persist even after 3 days , then consult a physician near you for Investigations.

After a viral fever, mild dizziness and slightly lower BP can occur due to dehydration, reduced intake or weakness. Your pulse of 80/min is normal. The BP readings mentioned are not necessarily alarming if you are otherwise stable.
Next Steps
Continue adequate fluids/ORS and take light, regular meals. Monitor BP and symptoms for the next few days. If dizziness persists or BP remains consistently low, consult a physician for examination.
Health Tips
Take sufficient water and Electral, especially if intake has been low. Rise slowly from bed/chair and avoid prolonged standing. Seek prompt medical care if you develop fainting, severe weakness, chest pain, breathlessness or persistent vomiting.

A mild dip in BP with some giddiness in the first few days after a viral fever is quite common - mostly it is dehydration and poor intake during the illness. 94-107 systolic with pulse 80 is not alarming by itself, and it usually settles as your eating and drinking improve.
Next Steps
Continue ORS/electral 1-2 litres a day, add nimbu-shikanji, buttermilk, coconut water and a little extra salt in food unless you have BP or kidney issues. Get up slowly from bed or chair. If giddiness is still there after 3-4 days, get a CBC and blood sugar done. Come in or take a teleconsult if you feel faint, have palpitations or fever returns.

How sure are you it's viral fever??
Get your dengue test done. Once when fever subside then platelets fall will happen along with BP fall.
Get your dengue ig G and ig M done and review..

Eat well and hydrate well.Take multivitamin tablets.include more salt in your diet.if you don’t have any cardiac symptoms after the viral fever like chest pain and breathing difficulty then it’s ok.drink salted lemon juice at normal temperature. Check your HB also,anaemia can also cause low Bp
