Is it safe to inhale poppers if you are taking a mild blood pressure medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: poppers are not safe to inhale PERIOD! I am very concerned about their widespread use, and I have seen many severe complications, including a condition called methemoglobinemia which can cause profoundly low oxygen saturation causing tissue damage - including brain damage. It can profoundly lower blood pressure, and if you are on BP meds, can do that even more, causing a shock syndrome.
