Sorry you are feeling so unwell. Your blood pressure seems pretty ideal, though. I used to always run at those numbers in my youth. Unless you have some special exception, generally low blood pressure is more below 90/60. If you're lightheaded, I'd wonder if it is from something else. Could be as innocent as anxiety, though anxiety doesn't always feel innocent.
