How To Treat Low BP?
I take exforge for high bp---lately the problem is more low bp.I feel a burning sensation traveling up my neck- usually after eating or in very hot weather. The range of low bp is in the area of 90/60 or 84/60 with a pulse of 90 or higher. I'm 64 years old and have asthma . I take symicort and rarely albuterol for those symptoms.

Hello,
Firstly, you need to decrease the dose of Exforge drug and if still remaining on lower side, then you need to stop it.
The likely for burning is gastritis and reflux disease. So you should spicy, oily food and tablet Pantoprazole or other antacids.
Also, you should get one ECG done to look for cause of burning. Also, one echo to look for heart function. During episodes of low Blood Pressure (BP), you can have salt sugar water or coffee to increase it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
