My blood pressure fluxuates greatly due to the medication and, resultantly, I'm dizzy when it's low and my balance is affected. Is this problem common or is it just me? My MD has me taking HTN med when it's elevated at night only. Taking med in the morinng when it was its' lowest to raise the BP was not effective.

In a tilt table test, you lie on a table that adjusts your body position from horizontal to vertical to simulate standing up. The test can tell your doctor if faulty brain signals are causing low blood pressure. A tilt table test is used to evaluate the cause of unexplained fainting.

Have you had a tilt table test done? Is it possible you have something called POTS that has not been diagnosed?
