I can't find his post. My hubbie had the same problem and the doc prescribed Midodrine 5 mg. and he has not fallen since. Praise to Christ Jesus!

Hi Kay83 , I saw a post from a Thomas bailey that spoke of this and that he had broken a leg and lost some teeth. I also take Midodrine 10mg three times a day for my BP because my sildenafil drops it down. Been good since I started it.

Weakness and difficulty with mobility are common challenges for people with pulmonary hypertension. If other members are experiencing similar issues with falls or weakness, they should discuss medication options with their healthcare team, as you've shared that medication made a significant difference for your husband. If anyone is experiencing new or worsening weakness, especially if it's affecting their ability to walk safely, they should contact their doctor right away. This could be a sign that their PH management needs adjustment or that other interventions might be helpful.
