A member asked:
How low is too low for blood pressure when starting a new medication or increasing it? what is the danger level? i had 75/51 (doxazosin) 1 mg increase

BP: 75/51 is a low blood pressure and if you've transcribed it correctly then adding or increasing a medication which can further lower blood pressure would be inappropriate.

Do not increase : BP is likely too low already.
