Hi @fiesty76. I don't have any answers for you but was wondering if you have ever talked to your pharmacist about the timing question of when to stop and then resume taking blood pressure medications following large drops in blood pressure.

@cehunt57 @that_girl and @predictable may have some experience to share with you on Orthostatic Hypotension medications and when to take them.

I have a history of orthostatic hypotension. My BP & meds are monitored by my nephrologist because I have chronic kidney disease. I take Losartan at bedtime and Torsemide (a diuretic) in the morning. When I have a follow up appointment my Dr. takes my BP while I’m sitting and standing to see if there is any major difference. Also asks if I have any symptoms of light headedness or feeling feint. Monitors my weight also. Discovered I once had too much meds for my size.
