Can One Skip Trandate Medication Post-surgery For Aneurysm If BP Is 89/56?
My husband had an aneurysm in the descending aorta surgery preformed a week ago? He was put on Trandate 200 mg. every 8 hours. I took his blood pressure before giving him the med and it was 89/56 pulse 82. He has never had high blood pressure age 73. He does need surgery for ascending aneurysun in a few weeks. My question is do I skip this dose?

Hello,
How much is usually bp readings, are they more than 100. The mentioned bp reading is low and confirm it twice, if it's certainly low then dose should be skipped as further fall in bp may cause another problems.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
