The sudden drop in blood pressure (BP) to 60/40 is something you shouldn’t ignore and need immediate medical attention. Given the combination of medications and natural remedies you’re using, a few factors might be at play here, though pinpointing the exact reason without a detailed personal evaluation is difficult.

One possibility could be the interaction between your depression medications and the herbal juice you’ve been consuming. Ingredients like raw turmeric, curry leaves, mint, and coriander have various health effects. They are generally considered healthy, but in some cases, can potentially interact with allopathic medicines, possibly leading to unanticipated impacts such as changes in blood pressure. Additionally, mint and coriander can sometimes lower BP, and consuming them in excess might contribute to such reactions.

Another aspect is dehydration or electrolyte imbalance, which could also cause sudden declines in blood pressure. Loose stools, which you mentioned, might have led to this. Your gastro conditions and medications may have complex interactions as well.

Please get professional medical advice immediately to rule out possible serious concerns. As for Ayurveda, considering your current condition, it might be best to pause the herbal juice and consult both your ayurvedic and allopathic practitioners. They can provide guidance tailored to your unique situation and also possibly explore consequences arising from combining different treatments.

In a broader sense, ensure balanced hydration and check your salt intake. Excess dehydration can result from loose stools, impacting BP. Generally, managing your doshas and ensuring proper nourishment helps stabilize BP, yet, with your ongoing treatment, those steps should be synchronized with your healthcare provider’s advice.
