Hi Voyajer!

I know you already have a quote from me, but I'd like to add my 2 cent's worth. When I started low carbing, my blood pressure was 180/106. Doc put me on too much Altace and my blood pressure came down, but I felt dizzy and nauseous for a week until I talked him into cutting my dose in half. I continued taking it for another month or two after I started low carbing, but then my blood pressure started running too low again (100/60) and I started feeling dizzy again. I quit taking it, but continued to monitor my blood pressure and it has stayed in the normal range now for almost a year without medication. Good luck to your mother! My advice would be to have her monitor her blood pressure every few days either with a home blood pressure kit or at one of the blood pressure stations at the store and call her doctor right away if she feels dizzy or notices that it's getting too low. HTH!
