Question 1

taking 20mg of prozac (fluoxetine) for 4 months think it's to high of dose for me can it cause my low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Prozac: Per Drugs.Com - (0.1% to 1%) incidence of hypotension with Prozac. See:  https://www.drugs.com/sfx/prozac-side-effects.html. Recommend discussing with your doctor.

Question 2

what can cause low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Many things: If you have no symptoms then there is no worry. If you have symptoms you could be going into shock, adrenal insufficiency, dehydration, etc. See your internal medicine doctor.

Question 3

what cause low blood pressure? what are its symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Dubious idea: This is a "pop" diagnosis especially in parts of europe, and some physicians believe in it; it's used to explain a variety of symptoms (including folks i suspect are somatizing / just unhappy); it's not mainstream, and if somebody's symptomatic, i'd look for some other cause. The healthy heart keeps pressure just adequate to perfuse the body; "low" shouldn't be a problem.

Question 4

can ulcers cause low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ulcers, like stomach ulcers, can lead to bleeding and anemia which can be asssociated with low blood pressure.

Question 5

can bed rest cause low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes: We put women who have pregnancy induced hypertension on bed rest to lower their blood pressure.  We have receptors in our neck called baroreceptors that raise our blood pressure when we are upright.  In some people, especially the elderly, these don't work well and it takes longer for their blood pressure to reset when they stand up.

Question 8

See details: What do you define as low blood pressure? Blood pressure that seems to be on the low side is generally a normal finding in teenagers. It causes no issues.

Question 9

what is the cause of low blood pressure. what remedy about that?

Accepted Answer

Is it a problem?: A "normal" blood pressure varies from person to person. If you have no symptoms, then there's nothing to worry about.

If you are symptomatic, then we need to ask why the pressure is low and address that. Many different conditions/situations can lower blood pressure.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: But depends on how low.  Also concurrent blood pressure meds with anemia can exacerbate the low blood pressure. Hope this helps.
