Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that depending on what kind of antihypertensive medication there is a risk for hypotension (if you are not suffering high blood pressure).
Nevertheless, it will depend by the drug pharmacology (whether it has a fast or delayed effect onset, and its circulating half life).
If any clinical symptomatology of important hypotension (persistent low blood pressure values [<100/60 mmHg], profound weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, etc.), I recommend asking medical assistance by your nearest ER service.
In such case an intravenous fluid therapy would be necessary and a couple of hours hemodynamic monitoring.
Please, could you provide me the name of that antihypertensive medication.
Meanwhile, try to relax, avoid overcrowded humid and extremely warm environment, and take plenty of water and fresh juices.
I remain at your disposal for any further uncertainties to discuss.
Wishing you the best for this New Year!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
