I've been in HF for almost 2 years...everything I see concerns people with high blood pressure...I have the opposite problem..low blood pressure, I get out of breath by just walking across a room. Anyone else have a problem with low blood pressure?

In 2004 i had a heart attack. Diagnosed with COPD back in 2008. Last September I was in South Africa and came down with a serious chest infection. Back home it reoccurred in February.

Here Doctor Gupta, of York Cardiology explains how our BP changes as we get older.
