Can Mirtazapine Cause Low Blood Pressure?
Question: Can Mirtazapine cause low blood pressure?
What can I do to raise my blood pressure? It runs about 88/48 most days. I check it every morning - have been keeping charts of it for a year. I went to donate blood recently and they refused to take my blood (That day it was 90/45 in the blood donating facility.)
What can I do to raise my blood pressure? It runs about 90/48 most days. They won't accept my blood donation

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are not related to Mirtazapine adverse effects. Mirtazapine does not lead to low blood pressure as an adverse effect.
Are you taking any anti-hypertensive medicine? You should stop them, if you are actually taking.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes of low blood pressure:
-complete blood count for chronic anemia
-blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
-thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction
-kidney and liver function tests
- fasting glucose.
Meanwhile, I recommend increasing salt intake in your diet. Increasing caffeine intake can also be useful.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
