i have noticed a significant drop in my blood pressure.
over the past two months, i have noticed a significant drop in my blood pressure. i was on 5mg lisinopril and 20mg nifedipine but had to adjust my dosage.now i have stopped taking nifedipine but only lisinopril. my bp range now is b/w 99/69 - 117/79. i also discovered that vit b complex crashes my bp.
2 months ago i had a echo & the Dr discovered i had mild diastolic dysfunction with + 1MVrerurgitation & my nifedipine dosage had to be increased to 20mg 2xdly. now 2months down the line i am getting values i have stated above.
what do i do?
Hi Faith1,
A blood pressure range between 99/69 to 117/79 is within the goal of less than 120/80. A concern would be if you are experiencing symptoms of low blood pressure - http://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/74.html.
I recommend continuing to work with your physician to monitor your situation and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
All the best,
