Suggest Remedy For Low Blood Pressure While Having A Pace Maker

My husband has a pacemaker & Aviv. For 2-3 weeks now he has been having very low blood pressure in the 80s to 90s. The Dr has recently put him on Mododrene. This was to increase his pressure. He started on Monday. Only once did it go to 145. Most around 105. What do you think?

Hi, your question is somewhat confusing, but I'll try to help you.

We must find the cause of low blood pressure, and check if the pacemaker continues to function properly. The battery of modern pacemakers can last from 5 to 10 years, but older models have batteries that last less time. When the battery is low, you must replace the pacemaker generator. And this could be a cause of low blood pressure.

If your husband has severe heart failure, it can also be a cause for low levels of blood pressure. In this situation, we must optimize the specific therapeutic to this problem. Moreover, in this situation, also the use of medications to raise the pressure can be deleterious to the patient.

Therefore, before seeking a remedy to increase pressure levels of her husband, it is necessary to exhaust efforts to identify the causes of low pressure. So, we can provide the best therapy for him.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.
