A member asked:
What happens if someone with normal blood pressure of 120/80 takes an angiotensin receptor blocker daily, with an average reduction of 8 systolic/5 diastolic would it make them sick or damage their heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A mild decrease in blood pressure should not cause any problems. Possibly some lightheadedness or dizziness on standing. It should not damage the heart.
