Hypotension

Anyone else here deal with hypotension in pregnancy? I’m 16 weeks and blood pressure readings keep getting lower and lower. My normal BP is 100/60 but it got all the way down to 84/64 today and I finally called my OB who immediately referred me to cardiology.

I feel absolutely awful obviously and just existing is hard work at this point.

Anyone else deal with this? How did you manage symptoms?

Things I am doing:
Wearing medical grade compression socks (I have for years due to venous insufficiency).
Eating high sodium
Drinking lots of water (120 oz a day)

I am still experiencing nausea and vomiting so I have lost weight despite already being pretty lean and I have aversions to pretty much all protein.
