What Causes Low Blood Pressure After Taking Lasix?
Hello. My mom is in a nursing home for rehab following respiratory failure. She has been on Lasix every day to help with edema in her feet. I have been noticing her blood pressure is getting lower every day. She normally HS high BP and takes medication for it. Tonight her blood pressure is 120/44. Is that too low or a cause for concern? I m worried she is getting anemic or dehydrated and will be in danger of falling. This nursing home is not very proactive in her care so I am worried that this is going unnoticed. Should I be concerned? Also, I m noticing she is a bit pale today. Thanks!
