Blood pressure

I keep feeling like I’m going to pass out. Like my BP is dropping. Do any of you have issues with your BP? I couldn’t find the say anything thread.

The old antipsychotic that I have been on for about fifty years lowers blood pressure. It has not been much of a problem for me.

I used to have postural hypotension. If I stood up fast, I would get lightheaded for a minute before I adjusted to the change.

If you haven’t been on it very long, I would give it a bit. When I first started it to show down my heart rate it took about 2 weeks before the reactive low BP missile went away.
