Does a herx cause low blood pressure? I am at a complete loss for what is going on with me.

Extreme fatigue, extreme dizziness, feel like I am going to faint, very low blood pressure.

At the same time I could possibly be herxing. This is all too complicated.

I don't know if it's a herx, but I've had low blood pressure since the time I got sick... so who knows.

How low is yours? Mine's usually 80/40 to 90/50.

I can't remember the reading but my naturopath was pretty concerned. Maybe this is an adrenal issue?

I have adrenal problems and got real low pressures. I saw an Endocrinologist and take cortisol and florinef. Keep track of your pressures and show them to your Dr. Check them sitting and then when you stand.

I got high pressures with herxing. I was in the hospital with a bad herx and spiking pressures of 230/120. They thought at the time I may have a pheochromocytoma.
