Question : My blood pressure is 95 over 50. Im light headed when I stand up. I take 150 mg of Avapro and a low dose aspirin daily, plus a water pill as needed. I guess I ought to stop the water pill for now. Anything else?

Brief Answer:
Avapro dosage should be revised

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

If it is the first time, don't take your blood pressure medication Avapro, if it continues for some days then the dosage should be decreased, you can divide the tablet, until you can see your doctor, if low blood pressure persists after half dose then the medication should be withdrawn. Your diuretic also should be revised, don't take it unless you have dispnea.

Take care
