Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband takes blood pressure medicine but for the last couple of days his blood pressure has been real low he hasn’t taken his medicine in 2 days how can I bring it up so he won’t be so tired
The first thing is to determine why his blood pressure has been going down for these couple of days:
- any blood loss?
- any other cardiovascular complication?
So, the first thing to do is to discuss with his cardiologist and run a few diagnostic tests to determine the right cause and treat it adequately.
For the moment, until you see his cardiologist, should:
- keep monitoring his blood pressure and record the results
- the dosage of the antihypertensive meds he is taking should be reduced. You might consult his caring doctor for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
