Carol, my condolences on the death of your mother and I hope your father is doing better. I'm sorry I have nothing I can say that would be helpful regarding your blood work.

I've recently (a few weeks) developed low blood pressure myself and wonder about heart failure but I don't find much online connecting the two. How low has yours gone?

Mine is fairly consistent now in the high-80 over high-40 range (example 87/48) but my oncologist doesn't seem concerned other than to ask what my medical doctor is doing about it. I see medical doc next month but whenever I'm at the infusion clinic it reads higher so I don't think my medical doc will even believe me. (Home monitor is working correctly, my husband gets normal-to-slightly high readings.) I also only occasionally have other symptoms like fast heart rate or weakness or dizziness. I've not fallen but having been a caregiver to several people with brain injuries from falls I'm extremely careful about that.
