Default drugs

good advice from lurkingforacure. Please have this conversation with your dad's physician. Looks as though your dad has much difficulty with orthostatic hypotension--very low blood pressure upon rising from lying or sometimes sitting position. 3 of the drugs he is taking is to address the low blood pressure. I am sympathetic to you and your mom wanting to decrease and or stop the drugs not needed. Talk to his doctor first.
