I dont know if my comment was actually posted I’m new to this site
I have dysautomia my blood pressure goes very high and drops as soon as I’m standing. Im pretty much confined to a chair
I was pit on droxidopa, which is for Parkinson’s but my doctor has given it to me for my condition. So far it hasn’t helped much. Ive only been on it less than two weeks. Im praying it helps. Marie

Hi,
I have the same problem with my BP, it has a will of it's own regardless of any medication. I can no longer medicate for high BP as it can suddenly drop when It feels it wants to. My BP only drops a little on standing, but being medicated it can drop far too low, suddenly. It is safer not to medicate but I keep a check on my BP and get myself to ED when it goes beyond 240/140. I have Autonomic polyneuropathy which is what is interfering with my system.
Cheers
