I have a patient with a 3 yr history of low blood pressure, who faints easily and suffers from chronic fatigue. All investigations have been normal, including tests for Addisons. Consultant advice is to consider starting her on a small dose of fludro?cortisone. I believe that in some European countries, low blood pressure is considered a clinical entity and is treated with medication. Does anyone in GP-UK have experience of this? What drugs are used, dosage etc.? Ruth Livingstone http://www.Stamford.co.uk/littlesurgery %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
