I don't take any other medications. I have no other health issue so far but my wife has hypertension. She is on medication and her BP is controlled. We have just bought a BP monitor for her. My BP reading has been normal. I'm asking this question because I thought that the last reading might be too low. I read that some medications can cause one's BP to be higher and lower. I feel giddy sometimes.
Thank you!
It's really impossible to say why one reading would have been lower than your norm. There could be LOTS of different reasons, none of them which are a big concern. My guess would be that if you've been on the Xanax for a while, which you have, it's probably not related to that at all. Are you taking any other medications? Do you take any BP/heart medications? Did you have any symptoms at the time you got the lower reading? Where was your BP taken and why?
I would mention it to your doctor, who may or may not recommend keeping track of your BP for a while to see if that one reading was a fluke, or if you're consistently running lower than normal.
Keep us updated!
