Experiences with

Fludrocortisone

His doctor recommended fludrocortisone to help stabilize his blood pressure, but he’s been struggling with the side effects. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on alternative treatments or ways to manage these side effects? He is at his 7th year of Parkinson.

hi everyone my husband has just started midrodine after taking fludrocortisone for a couple of months. It hasn’t stopped him falling. He has postural hypertension and falls a lot from standing after sitting.

I was put on medication which was fludrocortisone and midrodine to higher my blood pressure but this medication did not help and I had another fainting episode where my heart had stopped again. I’ve now been told my top options are ablation surgery or pacemaker.

Hi everyone my husband has hypertension one of the symptoms of MSA and been taking fludrocortisone. It hasn’t helped so the doctor wants to change it and try Midodrine has anyone had any experience with this drug.

Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg. Once a year there is an Adrinal crisis, I end up in intensive care... Constant weakness, no vitality, I sleep a lot... I am only 43 years old. I'm from Ukraine...It's difficult to get competent advice from a specialist. I would be glad for reasonable advice Written

It`s even been suggested to try a steroid tablet Fludrocortisone to increase BP. I am mortified to say the least. Torn between saving my heart or my eyes it seems. The doctors up here very north of Scotland are pretty useless to be honest, hence adjusting my own meds (please don`t shout at me).

The arms of the trial are: 1:Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)+ opevesostat Participants receive opevesostat 5 mg by oral tablets twice daily (BID) plus dexamethasone 1.5 mg by oral tablets and fludrocortisone acetate 0.1 mg oral tablet once daily (QD) continuously until disease progression.

And I take meds for my POTS, unsure if they'd have any effect but I don't expect many people here to have a lot of experience with them (Ivabradine and Fludrocortisone) My vitamin levels are looking ok: Vit D- 92 Ferretin- 48 (this is increased from 35 in July, working on getting it higher) Total B12

I’m on Levo monotherapy and a steroid, Fludrocortisone, for low BP. Am post-menopausal. I have an annual appointment with an NHS endo, and I asked him for a trial of T3, which I know in theory I am entitled to ask for if I’m not well on just Levothyroxine.

My wife was diagnosed with addison's disease, she started using predsinose up to 7.5mg daily and 0. 2mg of fludrocortisone, after starting the treatment she had a slight improvement, she came out of the crisis she had when she was diagnosed with the disease, but to have a slow pace of life, she did not

I think I will get away with avoiding fludrocortisone for now as my BP seems stable and my sodium has risen 5 points, potassium is also in a good place.

I will continue to raise & assess HC, then I will decide whether I need Fludrocortisone for Aldosterone.

For aslong as I can remember I have always been a worrier and anxious.I have always been overweight until recently and my BP has always been normal. Took propranolol for anxiety for a few years 80mg slow release and then 40mg once a day up to 2020 when I came off it no problems until November 21 I had

This rise has improved a lot of my symptoms, though it hasn’t been straightforward as my other medication, Fludrocortisone, a steroid, seems to affect thyroid levels.

I’m on a steroid, Fludrocortisone, for low blood pressure, and have found I’ve had to reduce that as I’ve increased the Levo. Since April, I have also been trialling splitting my Levo dose, taking it three times a day (away from food), to see if it increases my FT3 conversion.

Now on Midodrine 5mg 3 times a day and fludrocortisone 100micrograms but still a problem. Doctor has cut my sinement back from 2 x 7 times a day to 1.5 each dose and added 1 selegiline twice daily .Does anyone have this issue and has anyone tried something thats helped.Thanks
