They cant find anything that is causing this. All my tests are fine except my chloestrol is a little high.My heart,throid and everthing else is checking out fine.They have taken me off of Linsopril, and clondin except for emergenccies,and I dont take my P.M. meds if my pressure is to low.

You have too many pills in the mix and the lopressor will cause your pulse to go low. You would probably do well on a catapress patch which takes the place of clonidine. If I were your doctor I would stop the lopressor. The only thing the lasix does is make you urinate and that loss of volume takes your blood pressure down. Its also the reason you have to take the Kcl (potassium) You should not have to take lasix if your not having congestive heart failure.
You need to see a kidney specialist to see if your kidney function is ok because if its not, it can cause all kinds of problems with your blood pressure.
Your blood pressure is so high, you become symptomatic when it goes to 80/40. Most people would not be able to feel that low pressure.
A nephrologist would be the best person to get your blood pressure stablized along with a cardiologist.
True story. Im a RN in a large hospital.

I expect that you was taking an overdose of the blood pressure drug.
You need to have just the right amount to do the job.
You should have told the E.R. exactly what you condition was like before you went on the drug, and how much your now taking.
You will need to see your doctor about the dose of your drug very quickly to aviod hypoxia and fainting attacks etc.
If you feel dizzy etc, go to the E.R. and say exactly what your problem is right away.
This does not mean that you can come off your drug now, because they had taken your off some during the low blood pressure reading.
You should be given just enough drugs to keep you stable, which is something that they may be doing to you now.
But just ensure that all the medics are aware of this problem, just in case.

De-stress as much as possible
Linger in prayer (calming effect)

purely choose certainly one of them. choose the guy who you experience maximum tender around and you experience like they actually love you. As for the lady who needs casual intercourse, in case you desire to check to end no longer being proof against intercourse, do no longer %. her. yet whilst that doesn't rely to you purely make confident she rather loves you and is not any longer a whore. sturdy success! :D
