what type of medicine can my doctor prescribed for low blood pressure?

Answer 1

Well, if 1000 people had their BP measured we might expect to find a spread of readings ranging from as high as 200 / 120 down to as low as 80 / 50 with most people clustering around the middle of the range at around 130 / 85. The vast majority of these people would have no symptoms of any kind – no matter what their BP reading actually was.


there are many cuases of Low blood pressure or hypotension

Medications for anxiety
Medications for blood pressure
Heart medications
Diuretics or “water tablets”
Some anti-depressant medications
Some painkillers
Alcohol (although you should note that alcohol can also be a cause of high blood pressure)
Dehydration
Heart disease
Heart valve disease
Recent heart attack
Changes in heart rhythm
Bacterial infection in the system
Kidney diseases
Diabetes mellitus
Haemorrhage or bleeding
Diseases of the nervous system like Parkinson's Disease

Well basic treatment is 'to treat the cause" because hypotension is mostly related to some disease........so its better to find out the cause and treat it.as mentioned above it does'nt make much difference if your BP drops to to extend.but drastic decrease is an indication to see a doctor.....well it can lead to shock..which is later treated with dopamine or dobutamine. n with fluids after ruling out the danger of overload.....generaly if there is small drop of BP, then it can be covered with dietry method, u take rich food,more fluids, protein rich food etc some other peoples ahve their basline BP as low ...so they are adapted to that and doen't make any difference for them but for a person whose BP is generaly high and it drops down then its better to pay attension,either antihypertesive drugs are more than needed or any other cause..
but basic treatment is 'treat the cause' i must say.

Answer 2

Unless you blood pressure is dangerously low, in which case an in depth examination is required and surgery may be necesssary if you have leaky bits. The fact remains that if your blood pressure is greater than 100/70 you are in great health - remember in the morning it will be less expecially if you've visited the bathroom before taking it .. Swedish Dr's recommend lowering the blood pressure even more .. I am 65, weigh in at 100Kgs (220 lbs) have a pulse rate of 48 and my bp is 123/73 constantly and I am certianly not bothered by it

Answer 3

A doctor would prescribe what he thinks is neccessary for any patient. I am not sure what you are asking about low blood pressure.
