Hun, they put you on that med for that reason in the first place. If they didn't put you on that med to begin with, you could have a heart attack and die.
If you have having low blood pressure problems, address that with your doc. Are you keeping track of your blood pressures? Write them down with the times you take them and share that with him.
And a mitral valve prolapse isn't a benign condition. It's a serious one. It might be considered mild, but it's certainly not benign. This condition can also cause you to feel weak and tired often. Address your feelings with your doctor for other options in medications and/or treatment. There are several out there.
