I had a bout of diarreha for 24 hrs. now my bp is lower than normal at 105/65 normally it's 125/80 while taking htn rx should i be concerned?

No: you may be dehydrated if your BP is lower than usual and your heart rate higher. Get plenty of fluids to replenish those lost from diarrhea. Be sure to get electrolytes, specifically additional potassium (bananas, baked potatoes ) as diarrhea results in additional potassium loss.
