Orthostatic Hypotension

[J-er]

Anyone have this, in relation to MS? Or have it in general?

I've seen this mentioned before on this site. Also, you may want to look into autonomic dysfunction.

I personally have had both high and low blood pressure. I take blood pressure medication but I'm allowed to skip it if my blood pressure gets too low. It sometimes drops in the summer when it is very hot. Blood pressure is definitely an issue for some of us.

I have it related to my MS lesion in my pontine area. My cardiologist is evaluating me for a pacemaker so that my heart rate stays the same all of the time and keeps my blood pressure up. You need to see a cardiologist to evaluate your low blood pressure with something called a tilt table test.

I wish you very much luck.
Take care!

Thanks guys. Actually, as quick as the lightheadness and dizziness started, it stopped about two weeks ago. Along with some of the tingly hands I had experienced as well. I got a few new symptoms, but looks like the old ones are disappearing.
