Hi Debby,
Here is a link to information on low blood pressure - http://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/74.html
It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate some throughout the day; however, you are experiencing symptoms associated with low blood pressure. I recommend contacting your physician.
All the best,
