Is Low BP With Fatigue While On Avapro A Cause For Concern?
i am taking Avapro for high blood pressure. it works very well. I have regulare checkups and my reading at the doctors is always excellent. over the last 2 weeks I have several times felt rather strange and lethargic. I chose to take my blood pressure and some of the readings have been, 120, 113, and today 106. The symtoms only last a short time at the most about an hour, then go and blood pressure returns to normal.
