Has anyone ever had their blood pressure suddenly drop? I'm on two different medications for HIGH blood pressure. I was having excessive dizzyness for a while but just thought it was the meds. But luckily I was in the doctor's office and when they checed it was 80/50. He had me start taking 1/2 of the lisinopril. So about a week later I was in for the bruising on my feet and the bp was 112/70 and he was happy with that.
Well, Sunday I woke up really, really dizzy. So I checked my blood pressure and it was around 70/50. So I didn't take any of my blood pressure medication. This morning it was 89/58. I called the doctor and he's adjusted the medication again, but what is causing this?? Has anyone else had it happen? Before lupus I was getting high blood pressure of around 150/85, so I started on the atenolol long before the Lupus hit. AND I'm taking 8 mg of prednisolone which should help raise the bp.
