Zepbound and low blood pressure
On Zepbound and my blood pressure has dropped low. Any advice would be great. I drink a lot of fluids, eat small meals and it is working but I am not sure I can continue with the low blood pressure. Having had high blood pressure for years this a big nasty change.

I had similar situation, years of high blood pressure and then started getting dizzy due to low blood pressure. In my case I had lost lot weight due to bariatric surgery and was eating less and healthier but still taking meds for high blood pressure. I saw my primary provider who readjusted high blood pressure meds.
Are you currently taking BP meds? Do not stop taking meds without consulting provider, I advice checking with your provider about change.

@meali - I'd be curious what the doctor who prescribed the weight loss shot has to say about your blood pressure concerns. How are you feeling today?
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.
