My dad on bp meds, has had normal reading. last wk, had diarrhea episode. i noticed his bp reading is now quite low at 90/70. could diarhea be cause?

Blood pressure is: usually dependent on fluid volume status. Diarrhea causes you to lose fluid (become dehydrated.) The diarrhea has contributed to fluid volume loss and therefore the BP is lower.
