Hi Mav,
I went through hell with hypotension with my last PDoc. I was on Parnate but he would not augment. The only thing he said was if my BP went over 150 (systolic) he wanted me to go the emergency room.
My pharmasist was very confused by my low BP when I took pressure there. He said call DR. My PDoc said he really wasn't concerned with low BP.
Thats fine for him. It left me in bed, dizzy, cognitively impaired, and almost fainting at times.
My new PDoc added Stim to my Parnate.... my BP is 120/80. I have to page him if it falls below 90.
Its been as low as 69 with out stim/old Doc.I would not settle for 80's which is where I was for along time. It really pissed me off that old PDoc let me stay that way. I'm sorry if I missed anything in your thread. Don't stay in 80's.
I am in remission from the depression from hel* btw, feel free to contact me. I am happy again or at least normal! I'm getting all kinds of things done. When my BP was in 80's, I was lucky to make to the kitchen for coffee.
