Low blood pressure of 90/60 with a pulse of 90. has lewy body dementia and pulmonary emboli sim. why would bp be low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not surprising: If you are taking meds for your lewy body issues, such as Dopamine agonists, these can cause orthostatic hypotension. And you might wonder if your diagnosis is more likely multi-system atrophy or shy-drager syndrome. Ask your docs if possible.
