A member asked:

If i go to a psychiatric could he give medicine for social anxiety if my normal blood pressure is naturally low(9/6)?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Social anxiety: can be treated with psychotropic medications. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a good solution. A blood pressure of 9/6 would not be compatible with life.
