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 BP has been running low for me. I m on Atenolol but also on a lot of other meds for Trigeminal Neurlgia. Lately my BP has been running around 95/70 pulse has been in the 70 s and oxygen levels have been above 95. I feel fine but I ve been getting headaches too. Should I worry?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Atenolol is an anti-hypertensive drug. It may explain low BP. I wish to know the dose you are taking. A dose adjustment of atenolol (lower dose) may help. Low blood pressure may also cause a headache. Just see your doctor for evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Mbuomboh Veranso
