Few Short Episodes Of Lightheadedness With Flushing Face And Itching. On Medications For BP And Kidney Transplant. Possible Low BP?

I have had a kidney transplant and am on 2 different blood pressure medications in the am. along with several other for my transplant.... within the last month I have had a few episodes of lightheadedness along with my face feeling flush and itching, these episodes last less than 10 minutes. I have been sitting when these have occurred and have happened within 3 hours after taking my pills. I feel my bp could be dropping, could this be the cause?

Hi,

I understood your concern. I see that you are on different medications, two for your hypertension and few post renal transplant drugs (may be immunosuppressive drugs to avoid rejection). All these medications will have various side effects of their own and also interact with each other causing different effects.

As you are thinking that these symptoms might be due to dropping of BP, I do not think that these are solely due to fall in BP. These may be due the medications you are using or they may also be due to certain other conditions. Please follow up with your treating doctor about your symptoms so that he can make necessary changes and recommendations.

Take Care!
