I've been taking 14 billion cultures probiotic everyday for a mo. my blood pressure has been lower side but still 'safe'. stopping today. am i okay?

Safe but see MD: depends on why you were taking probiotics. If recommended by MD, would continue until followup visit. Alone, is not major cause of changing blood pressure, and will need to better understand the underlying symptoms and issues for which probiotics are being recommended, e.g. antibiotic use, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. Happy to consult.
