Help please! is adhd associated with low blood pressure (see details)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Blood pressure of is considerable interest in regard to adhd, because stimulants tend to increase both BP and heart rate. Individuals with adhd are no more likely than others to have low blood pressure, but neither are they protected. Could be issue if you are taking Guanfacine (tenex, intuniv) or Clonidine (catapres, kapvay), both of which may lower bp. Otherwise, unrelated issues.
