Suggest Treatment For Lyme Disease While Having Low BP
I tested positive for lyme disease. what, beside the antibiotic can I do or take? Im a 57 year old male in good shape. The diagnosis helps explain why my body has had so much pain for so many years. Sometimes when I stand up I feel like passing out, too dizzy. my BP is on the low range 100/80 last checked. My head is sensitive to the touch. Very tired. I just started the fourth week of doxycycline. I had a two week dose initially in June. Help
