I only run low and lower so fluid retention drugs like fludrocortisone help me to retain salt and volume. If you pee a lot and that causes some of your drop- desmopressin can be good. If you want to try something short acting, midodrine will push pressure, but it’s out of your system in 6 hours so no danger if you go high. It’s so hard trialing so many meds. My lows are like yours- 65/45. Awful.

My BP problem is the combined hyper/ hypo tension within any 24 hours: high BP at rest during day
but hypo on standing, so giving a specific drug that raises the low BP would then make the hyper tension even higher… Over night my BP seems ok, and what I don’t know is whether my HR suddenly rises during the day, for eg putting my coat on, indicates my BP has plummeted too, as this has only been captured on the tilt table test. I assume when I feel suddenly drained, have to sit/ lie down, that it does but I try as much as possible to make sure I catch it before I actually faint…horrid ( and embarrassing!). Luckily I have a very understanding husband by my side…

Sorry I only part replied to yours…I was doing well with the extra pint of water just before I started the day, or went out, but then my Gp reinstated ( the Falls consultant who diagnosed the PH had removed) a diuretic for the hypertension…so I’m just confused by medical interference.
