She said the florinef has a few more side effects, so I decided to go with the midrodrine first- especially because of all the blood pooling.
I really like that this doctor wasn't so pompous and let ME have the choice. Some of them are such control freaks. I'll keep him

Anyway, he started me out on 5 mg tablets. I haven't tried yet because I'm going to the allergist tomorrow with my bag of drugs and diagnoses list, to see if she can help me sort out which angle to start from and to get a second opinion on the asthma diagnosis. Hopefully some relief soon
Finding a good doctor is half the battle - best of luck with the Midrodrine - really hope it brings no allergic side effects with it for you. Will have to look it up as never heard of it before.
