Guest guest Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi Everyone, My Bob has been started on Fludrocortisone 0.1MG daily on Wednesday the 21st, while hospitalized with a blood infection. They have found he has developed postural hypotension. His BP dropped to 54/35 this evening at 5:00 pm when they stood him up to transfer to the geri chair at the bedside to eat supper, so they put him back to bed just that quickly. This morning they had him up walking in the hall with the Physical Therapist and he did pretty well with no drop in pressure. Anyone here have a LO with Postural Hypotension on Fludrocortisone? Does it work and how long does it take to be effective? Please share any experience you may have with this issue. Thanks, Pat Wife/caregiver of Bob 75, dx PD 2003, LBD 2009, now in hospital.
