????????? I also attribute my NAION event as being due to taking BP meds at night (as prescribed),? I also took diphenhydramine that evening for what I thought was an allergic
reaction that was irritating my yes, which probably contributed to the drop in BP.

No sleep apnea or anemia for me.? Mine occurred due to taking BP meds at night per perscription.? The two together dropped me too low during the night plus I was working 16 HR days and under alot of stress.? Wasn't getting much sleep but
enough to where this happened during that time.
Hi?
As I mentioned in another thread I have a big blood pressure drop after eating and apparently one in three older people like me experience it. It's called postprandial hypotension
.
My doctor wasn't really familiar with it. My blood pressure when I visited my doctor previously was almost perfect so he had no reason to suspect I had blood pressure problems. Instead of eating 3 meals a day, I now have 6 smaller meals.
