Low blood pressure in women under 30

[mountainboo]

I've been told by the nurse that I have quite low blood pressure. I told her that I have been experiencing light headedness when I move from sitting or move my head left or right or even when lying down. I failed to tell her that I have been feeling very tired lately. She advised me to monitor it and if persists to see doc. Can anyone tell me if it could be be a result of coming off anti-depressants as I have recently. Thanks

HI there, my sister is hypoglycemic (not sure if thats how you spell it) but that is low blood pressure, and she has shown similar signs to you. Before she knew she had it, she collapsed on a night out in a bar. Not sure if it's the anti depressants, but my sister now carries foods that have sugar in, like a little chocolate bar or a museli bar. She has to eat little and often, which has improved this. Hope this helps. x

Many thanks for your reply. I have since seen the doc and they think (surprise surprise) it's a viral infection and definately not related to the anti-depressents. I will monitor my symptoms and bear in mind what you have said

No worries, glad you got it sorted. x
