Hello everyone in the potsie world, my name is Lori, I am 45 yrs old, married 27 years with 3 adult kids. I was just diagnosed with dystautonomia last month, but I suspect I've had this affliction for a very long time. I spent the entire summer slowly declining and getting sicker and sicker, long story short I ended up in the ER with a 5 day stay in the hospital. I was released from the hosp Sept 13 but I'm still not doing very well. While at the hospital the doc started me on paxil 10 mg daily, and florinef. I just had a follow up appt last thursday and my blood pressure was too high 160/100, so he decided to take me off the florinef and start me on proamatine. I stopped taking the florinef last thursday, but have not begun the proamatine yet. Here is my question...my blood pressure is still a bit high even after being off the florinef since thursday. I googled proamatine and I see that it is used to raise the blood pressure. So now I'm afraid to take the proamatine for fear of raising my blood pressure even more. My blood pressure was running very low like 70's over 40's during the summer, and while I was in the hospital, but since then it has been running high. I am so confused on what to do about this medication. I mean, why would my doctor prescribe it 5 minutes after taking my blood pressure that was 160/100? Currently my main symptoms are constant strange feeling in my head, like I'm one false move away from vertigo all the time, also nausea, and my legs jerking uncontrollably, and tremors in my arms and upper body. Also experiencing flushing up my back and neck and into my head. I'm having many many more symptoms, but those are the most bothersome right now.
