Zepbound and low blood pressure

Morning blood pressure was still low, it picks up in the afternoon some days. Dr who handles my bp med has lowered it again. I just started Zepbound about 6 weeks ago and am down 13 lbs. I will see the dr that prescribed the Zepbound next week, I did send her a message and all that was said is low blood pressure is not a side effect. Mornings are rough.

@meali Greetings been on med since Sept 2024. Down 111# and 18# more to go. I have not had difficulty with my BP since learning I needed to increase my water intake(which will increase blood volume and help with constipation) and protein. I was on a small 5mg dose of lisinopril then down to 2.5mg, then just discontinued it. No BP meds for about a year now. I believe this was at around 40# loss. Are you drinking enough and eating enough? I ask because I had dizziness and weakness because I couldn’t eat enough…we lowered my dose and voila I could eat, the dizziness and weakness went away. We have never raised it as I am still having good luck on a small dose.
I wish you well and hopefully your cardiologist can figure it out. Do you have a BP cuff at home? If it was me(retired RN)I would monitor my BP 3x day for awhile and keep a record so maybe you can see when and why it’s happening and it might help your Dr also pinpoint the problem? Best wishes with your Zepbound journey.
