Lower Blood Pressure

Hi,

Recently I have had a drop in blood pressure. Normally I was about 110/67. This past week it has fluctuated from 119/71 to 91/51 and heart rate from 98 to 50. PM is set from 50.

I am not on any heart meds. Only antidepressant.

Has anyone else experienced this?


Thank you,
CJ

I have serious blood pressure drops and have low blood pressure routinely. I take Midodrine to keep my levels fairly normal...it might work for you if it is a regular issue!

Low BP

This seems to be a common issue with pacemaker folks. I've been down as low as 85/45 or so. I don't seem to have any problem with light headedness with it so I don't worry about it. The only thing that happens when it is this low is that get settled into my recliner and feel a bit wiped out. Since I know what it is I just get up and move around briskly and BP comes back up.

I wouldn't get involved in treating it with meds unless it causes you problems. They are a bucket of worms.
