Accepted Answer

Get checked: If you have had adequate thyroid replacement, your BP should not be affected by the thyroid removal.  One of the potential complications is having the parathyroid removed or damaged and thus lowering your supply of parathyroid hormone as well.  Have you had other symptoms aside from the low blood pressure?  If your BP has dropped more than 20 mm , you need to check with your doctor to find out why

Accepted Answer

How do they FEEL?: The course in lung cancer is famously unpredictable, especially if it is non-small-cell. One's blood pressure need be only high enough to perfuse the body -- it'd be a shame for a person who simply needs a few glasses of water to say, "Oh, my pressure is low, the end must be near." I hope that in the end, the person about whom you are writing is able to pass on with comfort and dignity.

So you need a detailed history for the causes of low BP, a good PE with BP MEASURED supine, seated, standing and after exercise. Then some lab tested directed by the Hx and PE. Start by seeing internist.
