Chiara Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hello, I have normally a very high bloodpressure, but I am hypovolaemic so my doctor described me fludrocortison first 0,05mg, after 3 days 0,1mg. It gaves me so strong muscle weakness, brainfog, visual problems, high bloodpressure,... so that I had much more worsen symptoms than before. I was dizzy the whole day and couldn`t go or do anything, only lay in bed with a dark scarf on my eyes. I took it for 11 days. Afterwards my bloodpressure goes up and down. Did anybody get this after fludrocortison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Dear @Chiara the following article mentions muscle weakness as a potential side effect of Fludrocortisone, but it states that it often goes away after taking it for a few weeks. It states it s very effective for fatigue and orthostatic intolerance in CFS patients. https://www.healthrising.org/treating-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/drugs/florinef-fludrocortisone-for-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-mecfs/#:~:text=Fludrocortisone’s ability to decrease HPA activity (ACTH and,with low blood volume%2C orthostatic intolerance and POTS. I also found this older post about this, it may be of interest to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
