That said, you had pretty low BP to begin with, and a 70/35 read is possible and still be conscious.
(Less than 70 sys is considered too low to remain conscious)
You really need to check this with a doc.
Do an EKG.
Heart fibrillation (ex atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) can lower BP,
and cause the symptoms you describe.
While a.fib. itself isn't that dangerous it can trigger more serious arrhythmia,
not to mention a. fib. can cause a thrombus/stroke.
Point is, you need to rule our heart issues being the cause here.
