Blood pressure goes high and low

My blood pressure was 90 -57 at the pain doctor's this morning.  I had it re-taken and it was 90 - 6l.  Very low for someone who is taking two kinds of blood pressure medicine twice a day.  I googled 90 - 57 and it just so happened that exact combination was commented on.  It does not indicate a problem except for elderly where it could indicate a need to adjust blood pressure medicine or something worse.

I bought another wrist monitor and too my pressure, which was high.  Blood pressure can vary so much but I knew it has been low at times because I am often dizzy when I stand.  Not to worry, I'm slated to visit my cardiologist in a week or two.
