I have low blood pressure can your doctor give you medicine?

Question

for this condition, I have dizziness, i feel fatigue and a little depress, plus lightheaded.

Answer 1

Yes. I am not a medical professional but my ex wife was hypo-tensive. With the symptoms you describe I would suggest making an appointment with your physician or going to to a clinic and discuss your concern and mention any other medications (including OTC) you are taking. There are dozens of different medications to aid in control of your situation.

Answer 2

This depends on how low your blood pressure is. There are medications that can be given for low blood pressure, but you should also try some easy stuff. For example, if you drink more water daily, the amount of fluid in your body will remain higher, which will increase your blood pressure. Also, many times low blood pressure occurs when standing up to quickly, which is known as orthostatic hypotension. For this, simply get up more slowly. Things such as this can work if your blood pressure is not severely low. If you feel these things are not helpling, SEE A DOCTOR. He (or she) can provide certain medications which can help. These include corticosteroids, alpha-receptor agonists, beta-blockers, etc. However, it is always important to weigh the consequences because these drugs have side effects. Discuss the best therapy with your ooctor or pharmacist before taking anything (prescription or over-the-counter)

Answer 3

Some medications (including diet pills, water pills, anti-hypertension drugs and anti-psychotic drugs) may cause some people to develop low blood pressure. Before you start adding more medications, check to be sure that the problem is not being caused by something you're already taking. You get into dangerous territory when you start taking medications to counter-act the effects of other meds.

If you're taking any kind of medications (including over-the-counter stuff), here is a suggestion that might help you identify any medications that might be causing the problem. Try searching for internet forum discussions about each drug and possible effects on blood pressure. I've given an example below, using the search terms "diuretics" and "hypotension." Just substitute the name of each of your meds (one at a time) and do a similar search, like "zoloft" and "hypotension" ... or "lipitor" and "hypotension." A forum search like this will let you read accounts written by the patients themselves, so it might give you some new insights.

Answer 4

So do I, .. 96/56, but it has never really bothered me physically.

If I don't eat properly, then I get the dizzies and lightheaded..

Better than having high blood pressure, I think!

There are medications for it, but once you start, then as the other post said, you end up taking another pill to offset the other pill an so on and so forth..
But.. check with your doctor anyway.. just in case.
take care and eat well.

Answer 5

Have your doctor check your blood count and volume...Having blood pressures below 120/80 is not a bad thing, in the long run it causes less stress on your heart!!!! If the doc finds that your blood count is low, then vitamin supplements would be in order (Iron)....For energy Vitamin B12 would be a place to start...
Good Luck...

Answer 6

they can, and in many patients it proves to help them a great deal. My mother's friend had low blood pressure and had all kinds of side effects from it. Her doctor gave her medicine, and everythign went back to normal.

Check with your doctor. They can work to get you the right kind and right dose of medicine.
