What Causes Low BP And Headache While On Invokana?
Hello! Just got diagnosed last year with type 2 diabetes. Was prescribed metformin 2x a day 500m. Blood sugar readings were bouncing between 137-217. My endo perscribed invokana for 30 day trial. I ve noticed my blood pressure drops when I take my meds (also sertraline and Astro for chloresterol). I notice headaches and dizziness sometimes. Is this normal? My sugars are around the 130 s now but don t like the spells I have. Any advice?

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that as you are taking two antidaibetic drugs and possibilities of being hypoglycemic is there and that triggers headache. You require a medicine dose adjustment.
Kindly consult with your Endocrinologist for further management.
Hope this will help.
Kind Regards
