Hi Laura,
I'm not currently on neuro meds.... I am, however, taking Prednisone... But
this interestingly enough... has been a problem for me... hypo.. then hyper..
hypo.. than hyper... My cardiologist is having a dickens of a time trying to
find out what causes the hypo... because at times it drops very low like
yours... It even happened one time right before surgery last year.. confused
the heck out of the docs.. as it should have been hyper because they say
'"...right before surgery is a stressful time" Well ... they should have
told that to my body...LOL .... Hypotension has been quite difficult... as I
am 5 10...average weight...and have the lupus also....when it hits it makes me
feel like I've been hit by a mack truck....So far we have not found the
culprit... Now this makes me wonder.....if it could be connected to the TM in
some way... Anyone else out there with this problem?
