@cehunt57, Thank you for your response. I also have kidney disease. At my 1st visit to a new cardiologist, I was tested for the sitting,lying down, standing b.p. and diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension. He also referred me to a neurologist where a p.n. diagnosis was confirmed. The cardio advised me to stop my Amlodipine (5mg) following a hypotension incident until my b.p. came back up for a couple of consecutive days of 130 systolic readings. I am still 25 lbs under my normal weight and your post makes me wonder if some of my multiple conditions and meds for them should be reviewed. Thanks for this insight; hadn't considered the wt loss and meds issue before. I so appreciate what we learn from sharing of experiences in these groups!
