What Causes Low Blood Pressure Levels?
After being on blood pressure melds for 5 yrs I suddenly am experiencing low blood pressure. Had to stop my medication. What could cause this? Also have a swelling on my back near scapula. Could they be related. The Dr said is was a subcutaneous mass. Wanted to see me in 3 months

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Being on high blood pressure (bp) meds can stabilize bp and sometimes put at risk for low BP.
Regular monitoring of bp advised and keep records. So, it will be easier for your doctor to change dose and meds.
The swelling on your back could be a subcutaneous mass however a good physical examination ultrasound of soft tissue are recommended.
Keep following up with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
