I was prescribed this antibiotic for strep throat and pneumonia, and can honestly say that the side effects were worse that the actual pneumonia.. it was awful. I am just finishing the last few days but have been getting really dizzy and light headed this past week, and while at the drugstore i used the machine there and my BP read 90/61 (very low for me, I usually read around 117/70, and am in fair shape and good health)
I am curious if it is yet another side effect of this pill. RX 500mg 3Xdaily. I am also on two inhalers because of my asthma one being a bronchodiolater and the other a asthma control medicine. can this combination cause blood pressure problems?
Update:Ok that's kind of what I thought. I also realized that I haven't been eating as much as normal and I am thinking that could be the issue

Erythromycin should not lower your blood pressure. Maybe it is because you are really sick.
Bronchodilators should raise the BP if any effect at all.
3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
Anxiety might rationale an extended blood strain studying however it such a lot obviously does no longer rationale high blood pressure. Hypertension is a ailment no longer with no trouble an extended blood strain studying. Present considering is that there's roughly a ten 12 months lead in time of pathophysiologic difference earlier than your blood strain is continuously extended. It is thought that the foremost flaw is endothelial mobile (the cells which line arteries) disorder despite the fact that that is a ways from validated. Anxiety and high blood pressure nevertheless can have whatever in ordinary. The locus cereleus within the mind shops a few of the frame's norepinephrine that's an adrenaline style substance. Anxiety problems and panic assaults are notion to be precipitated by means of irrelevant unlock of norepinephrine. Blood strain drugs in most cases don't scale down nervousness. You stated beta blockers. Although those blunt adrenergic tone they generally don't scale down nervousness. Anxiety does no longer rationale top blood strain and top blood strain does no longer rationale nervousness. Both need to be identified and handled seperately. If I is also of extra help please permit me recognise. I want you the very high-quality of well being and in all matters might God bless.
