derekliz Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 A friend recently started using Stevia while trying to lose weight. He noticed he was extremely fatigued and one morning his wife had the hardest time waking him up. (He has hbp and takes meds). He went to the doctor and the doc feels that he is having a reaction to the buildup of Stevia in his system.I decided to read up on in it and Stevia can lower BP and it is advised that u that u check with your md before taking it if you have LOW BP! http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-682-STEVIA.aspx?activeIngredientId=682&activeIngredientName=STEVIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E246 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi,Interesting - is it a herb?Was just about to start post to see if anyone else knew what can lower blood presssure -I think it is a big contributor to the chest pain and time is going quite high even on only 1/4 dose of Fludrocortisone.Do you have high BP? I presume it is what stops the dizziness which is not one of my symptoms but it's not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
