Okay, I'll Try This...60 Y/o Female With Long Term Depression

Okay, I'll try this...60 y/o female with long term depression and anxiety, recent dx of stage 3 kidney disease, and I'm getting epidurals for serious back problems. BP meds have been lisinopril 40mg and amlodipine 5mg. fenofibrate 145 mg for cholesterol, levothyroxine 100 mcg, sertraline 200 mg QD, bupropion SR 200mg 2 am & 2 pm, dexilant 60 mg 1 QD and flexeril 10 mg 1 tid prn. On the flexeril I usually only take 1/2 tab at bedtime. With these meds in mind my blood pressure has recently dropped to the way it was normally as a young person. Readings, 95/55, 98/64, 90/55. My kidney Dr took me off one BP med, the amlodipine a couple of weeks ago because of my low readings and it's still low. Within this last year I've had a complete cardiology work-up. No plaque build up, no blockage, the pain I was feeling was from stress which is for the most part resolved. I do warm water aerobics and have good flexibility. So having this brief background are any of the meds I'm taking cause this unusually low BP. No etoh, no smoking. Just would like you're take on it. Sincerely, Connie
