Low MAP: The current blood pressure indicates a mean arterial pressure or MAP of less than 70 which is not high enough to keep the vital organs perfused. CHF is a consideration. Renal failure and electrolyte imbalance are other considered. Discuss with your doctor, ideally sooner than later if a new problem. If really new, go to the er.
