It is frustrating.. I am use to going and going and now it takes everything out of me to do anything. I quit my birth control about this same time. That is really the only thing in my life that changed. There is heart problems in my family so it worries me. I went to my family doctor. He listened to my heart and did bloodwork and said really nothing to do.. Was not the answer I wanted. Have another doctor I am thinking about going to. Feel like he would look more into what caused it from going high to now low.. Thank you for your thoughts. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It sounds like your situation has been very frustrating. The description of your symptoms are very unclear as far as what could be the cause. Individuals who have difficul times trying to manage their blood pressure on multiple medications often need to be evaluated for "secondary" causes of hypertension (i.e. renal artery stenosis, endocrine problems, etc.). However, the sudden and persistent low BP does not clearly make sense. Situations like these are sometimes seen in those who have adrenal insufficiency (who have been on long standing steroids and then suddenly stop). Infection and dehydration are also some common causes, although you don't seem to report any other symptom that would point to this. If you continue to have issues with low BP and associated symptoms, I would suggest you contniue to follow up with your physician to make sure a thorough evaluation can be performed.
