Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Prazosin causes low blood pressure. You need to discuss with your doctor regarding the medication.
2. Your blood pressure is highly fluctuating and looking at the symptoms, the risk of fall is high.
3. Take plenty of fluids. You appear to have severe signs of hypotension due to prazosin. Meet your doctor for change of medication.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
