A member asked:

Got dysautonomia, blood pressure 124/60, wide pulse pressure, will fludrocortisone bring the diastolic bp up and make it more normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unpredictable: It will most likely raise both your systolic and diastolic pressure. Whether your pulse pressure changes is unpredictable.
