My bp is so low that sometimes the doctor can't get it to measure using the electronic bp cuff. Some days, recently, it takes me a few hours in the morning before my lightheaded feeling (due to low bp) goes away. I know there are meds to help increase blood pressure but I'm always hesitant to take more medications (side effects, interactions, etc.) I'd appreciate any experiences you all have had. Thank you, Don C5-6, 31 years post injury.
