Will fludrocortisone lower resting heart rate due to increased pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: In most cases it would not be expected to lower your resting heart rate unless you had truly severe hypotension (low bp). But we're all a little different so you'll have to see for yourself.
