What Causes Fatigue And Dizziness While On Losartan, Norvasc And Fluoxetine?

I am on meds for high bp, which normally runs in the 130 s/80 s. I ve had pneumonia...just about over it. 70 yo female. I am on Losarton, Norvasc, Fluexetin, Gabapentin for neuropathy, and sometimes Tramadol for back pain. For the pneumoni which began two weeks ago, I was prescribed a z-pack and the pearls for cough. One week later I had another x-ray and was given a steroid shot and two kinds of steroid antibiotics. I haven t eaten well throughout the pneumonia. I have noticed, however, lower bp s the last few dr visits but no concern was shown. Sat night bp was 88/56, 92/63, & 107/67 at bed. Yesterday, bp went from 134/100 to 104/63. Today, bp went from 85/57 to 99/59. I called my dr today but no reply...maybe in the morning. I am very easily exhausted and experience some dizziness sometimes...it s like my eyes are dilated. I am concerned...should I be?

Hi,

Reduced blood pressure (BP) most probably due to dehydration and pneumonia infection.

Should reduce immediately the dosage of Losartan and Norvasc. If no call from your doctor, go to ER to prevent severe low BP.

For the moment, keep monitoring your BP and record the results to pass to your doctor.

Keep well hydrated: take plenty of fluids especially plain water with oral rehydration salts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
