My blood pressure is 75 over 50. I had an aortic valve replacement 9 Months ago. I was told to take Midodrine as needed, but it doesn't help much.
Brief Answer:
your hypotension must be evaluated
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your blood pressure is indeed on lower side.75/50is too low.you must get your echocardiography done to know your pumping function of heart.It is expressed as LVEF.If you have low EF you must take ionotropic injection like dobutamine as hospitalised patient.
If your LVEF is normal we should go for evaluation for non cardiac cause like adrenal insufficiency,drug effect ,sepsis .
Please inform me which medicines you are getting and your latest echo report.
