A 37-year-old female asked:
i have postural othrostatic tachychia syndrome and low bp. one week ago, had abdominal artery stent placed and started on plavix. ever since, symptoms (extreme fatigue, dizziness, low bp) have been worse. could the procedure or plavix contribute?

Pots: Your symptoms should be reported to the physician who performed the procedure. These symptoms are more likely not a direct side effect of plavix, but I would be concerned about bleeding complications in view of low blood pressure and fatigue especially if the symptoms are not just postural.
