Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My dad is having very low blood pressure readings last 3 days they have been 90/55 to 92/70 he shakes so much he can not even hold his silverware or drink his coffee without spilling something. He is always tired and gets upset easily now. Doctor just put him on 25mg of Zoloft 2 weeks ago.
hi thanks for using HCM. Get the serum electrolyte test done as there are chances of electrolyte disturbance. AS Zoloft itself can cause lowering of serum sodium level. ask your dad to take plenty of water and moderate amount of table salt. If sodium level comes low in report then stop the zoloft and consult your doctor. hope it help you. thanks
