Common side effect
Yes it does cause low blood pressure (hypotension) meaning blood is pumped from your heart into your blood vessels, enough pressure is created to send it to all other parts of your body. As blood vessels travel away from the heart, they branch off and gradually get smaller, just like the branches of a tree. One branch may go to the brain, while another may go to your kidneys. Blood pressure keeps the blood flowing through all these branches so your body's cells get the oxygen and nutrients they need.
These are SERIOUS side effects which you must reported ASAP to your Dr.
If you experience fast heart rate and chest palpitations.
anxiety, agitation, or panic attacks.
CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR TOMORROW ASAP.
Take care
