Hypotension worsening symptoms
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2017 12:16 pm
Been a long time sufferer of RLS. First started with my pregnancies over twenty years ago. Has been quite tolerable since.
Just recently my GP put me on bystolic for high blood pressure. Immediately my BP lowered and my pulse was averaging about 55. During this time my RLS worsened to the point of no longer being able to manage. I suffered with myoclonus throughout my entire body and for the entire day. I stayed on the BP med for only eleven days. My doctor let me go off them because I was suffering too many side effects (dizziness, cold etc).
The very first day off the BP med I felt so much better. The body jerks completely subsided. I was finally able to relax and sit still. Now, I don't know if the RLS worsened because of the bystolic or because of the hypotension. My GP doesn't know too much about RLS, I will be asking her for a referral to see a specialist.
I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences with BP meds or hypotension.
