Low blood pressure from Trizepatide

My girlfriend has been taking Trizepatide for a few months, on a maintenance does of 5 mg currently
Had taken Sema on and off for the past two years.
Recently has been experiencing issues with low blood pressure. 100/60.
She is normally 120/80
Anyone else have any experience with this?
 
Maybe increase salt intake?

Is she symptomatic?
Yes we are going to raise salt
and maybe try black licorice root supplementation

Yes, she started getting lightheaded after sets at the gym. Then when standing. Very cold hands, feet and nose. Has nausea often lately and not just after her shot. Last couple weeks very blurred vision
Doctors appt yesterday for an unrelated issue. BP was 100/60. Just took it today couple hours ago and it’s 105/58
Doctor did mention low blood pressure. Is not aware of Triz use and wants to keep an eye on it
 
Is she on anything else? Tirz does not cause hypotension on its own, but may interact with other meds.
Adderall is the only other medication used
I have read about GLP-1’s including Trizepatide causing low blood pressure but have not found much information on remedies. She will continue using Trizepatide, that’s my concern

FWIW I haven't seen any reports of Tirz alone causing dangerous hypotension. When used with some other meds though it can be serious.

Low BP won't cause harm until it's below 90/60, but sudden drops can cause dizziness. Maybe she's dehydrated. That's always a risk with GLPs since they suppress thirst as much as hunger.

How’s her blood sugar levels. Tirz can cause hypoglycemia in some people. Dizziness and blurred vision are also symptoms of low blood sugar.
