Placed Stent. Taking Lopressor And Plavix. Low Blood Pressure. Feeling Tired And Lethargic. Advice?
Had stint placed and they put me on 100mg lopressor , and plavex. at cardiac rehab today I had a systolic blood pressure of 80 and after exercising for 15 minutes on a bike my blood pressure was 102. I tried contacting my doctor and they did not get back to me. What should i do as i do not want to faint from low blood pressure. I fell tired and lethargic. Thanks for your help.
Dear Sir/ Ma'm Thanks for writing to us. A systolic blood pressure of 80 mmHg is definitely low and must be looked into, especially if this is not your usual BP. Moreover you seem to be symptomatic for this. I would advise you to visit ER (emergency room) and get your medicines revised. Moreover there can other causes which an examination will rule out.
