Low Blood Presure. Posted: 01-10-04 14:00pm
As of yesterday I have a feeling of
falling when I bend over. I get very dizy
and have to sit down to let this pass. I
believe my pressure has dropped. I am
taken loretab for pain from my back
surgery I had 4 years ago. Have 6 titanic
screws in my back. The pain does not come
on when I am able to control stress but
the weather changes will bring it on. And
then I have to take medication. I only
take half of it. As I am very cold
throught out the times I feel like falling
I believe this to be my blood presure.
But would like to be sure. Reading your
site from the begining i've seen that
medication can have an effect on it. But
hate not knowing if this is right.

Eva,
it sounds like it might be low blood
pressure due to meds. My son lives in
nj, he just had gallbladder surgery.
They gave him lasix so he could go to the
bathroom. I was told he turned white as
a sheet and his blood pressure went down,
so he couldn't go home until the next day.
But to be safe I would get checked out
or even ask the pharmacy if that is a side
effect. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Have a drs.
Appointment and will get it checked. I
thought that the medication could have
this effect on me. I try not to take them
but when it gets to bad I have to. Do not
have the tolerance for pain as I used to.
The weather changes here in tx. Will
cause me to go crazy at times. Old age
is finally catching up on me. Eva.
