Low blood pressure

If you have neurological symptoms you could ask to have your injections every eight weeks in line with the N.I.C.E guidelines.

I am not medically trained so cannot comment on on your B.P. etc. but I have had P.A for more than 45 years

Well it could be B12, except for you are having injections every 10 weeks. Do your episodes occur more often at the end of the 10 weeks? Another possibility is a folate deficiency. It could be a lot of other things too, like too little sodium, too much potassium, hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, etc.

Did you doctor fully investigate the cause of the low blood pressure? It sounds as if you should ask your doctor to explore further. Another thing that crosses my mind is that pernicious anaemia can result in very little stomach acid. This can cause you to have problems absorbing other nutrients like iron, magnesium, calcium, vitamin B1 etc.

So you can try a good vitamin & mineral supplement and see your doctor again.

Do you make an effort to eat potassium rich food? Have you had your potassium levels checked? Might be worth you googling symptoms of low potassium.

I have been referred to an endocrinologist now but will ask for potassium levels to be checked at the blood tests prior to the appointment.
