LOW BLOOD PRESSURE

[bethrich]

My BP always runs low, but for the past 3-4 weeks, I've barely been able to move around-dizzy, fatigued, fuzzy-headed.  Have been taking Lexapro successfully for 5 months, but am wondering if this is a side effect.  Was at the ER for bumping my head and they said my BP was "off" when testing me while standing/sitting/laying down.   I called the pharmacist to see if Lexapro could cause low BP and she said it wasn't a side effect.   Is there different or other information available?
Thank you.

Thank you for your replies.  I am 44, healthy female...don't smoke, eat right etc.  I will look into Orthostatic hypotension and also schedule appt. with my physician.  Thanks in advance for any additional information.

Withdrawal from lexapro could cause some of these symptoms, but I am assuming that you are taking your doses regularly.  I am concerned that they were unable to get a blood pressure measurement and that you continue to be dizzy.  You should have this evaluated further, sooner than later.

yours sounds like Orthostatic hypotension...mine is just running plain low with sudden sharp drops and near fainting....at any rate im sympathizing with the fatigue...how old are you?
