I don't know my blood pressure before being on medication. I only know that before I'm on medication, my HR goes up to 150 while standing (lying down... don't know...) As for today, with Midodrine, my standing blood pressure is 96/56; HR: 100. Lying down is 104/64 with HR 72.

Yes. I've checked my blood pressure. It's within the normal range but compare to when I'm not on medication, it's actually lower. . . Any suggestions?

Hi Simmy, Thanks for answering. The drop from 115 to 61 is HR while sitting down. I know it's quite a huge drop which worries me a bit. I did read from Mayo clinic that one of the rare side effects from Midodrine is slow pulse. Basically, my PCP believes the huge drop is b.c. of Midodrine but my cardio doc. seems to believe that means Midodrine is working. I'm just concerned b.c. I don't seem to feel well when my HR drops to that number. Tks again.

I take 5mg three times a day- 8am 12, 4pm. You've mentioned vegal nerve response, I'm wondering how is that defined? My HR drop from 115 to sometimes 61... though my body seems to rebel every time my HR drop to around 60 ish, my cardio doc told me it's okay and not to worry. Yet . . . I thought midodrine is not suppose to cause chest pain. . .
