How Can Low BP And Dizziness Be Managed?

BYSTOLIC 5mg has lowered my pressure and pulse but I am so tired, and sometimes lightheaded. Also have hissing in my ears, sometimes worse than others. I failed my stress test two nights ago and doc scheduled me for nuclear stress next week. I am wondering if I should be waiting! Needless to say im nervous and doc gave me lorazepam for that.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would explain that both Lorazepam and Bystolic may lead to low physical performance and chronic fatigue, which could be the reason why you failed the stress test. Anyway, the nuclear stress test will help to definitely exclude or confirm coronary artery disease. Lorazepam may lead to increased sleepiness. I would recommend trying Alprazolam instead. If your blood pressure values are low, I would recommend reducing the dose of bystolic to half.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
