Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that this drug does not interfere with your clinical situation.

It does not lower blood pressure and does not trigger syncope. It is used to raise the blood pressure and avoid synkope.

So, there is no reason to worry about.

You can go ahead with phenylephrine.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing good health,

Thanks, Merri
