Morning hive!

Is this normal? I have been 15 months on Mounjaro 12.5mg for most of it, and I didn't have this happen to me.

I am 50yo, so maybe it's an age thing?

I wonder if it's a low glucose thing because I've never had low blood pressure. TIA x

Sounds like it could be Orthostatic Hypotension. These meds depress blood pressure. Trying increasing hydration with electrolytes. I'm not Dr tho!

It could be low blood pressure or low glucose. What’s your hydration looking like? If you aren’t getting enough fluids, your blood isn’t able to move like it should, which can lead to low BP

Talk to your doctor, get some electrolytes, hydrate and make sure you are having enough nutrients and proteins
