People that have high blood pressure, though, needs to take caution when using Advair and may need to consult with their doctor first. With careful monitoring and constant checking on their blood pressure for any fluctuation in numbers, people can take Advair harmlessly.

I always had extremely low blood pressure, low, to the point that at times, it was almost undetectable. This state was attributed to my lifestyle, I'm fit, I jog, and I abstain from meat, cheese, milk, & eggs.

Then I was prescribed Advair.

Now, I am in the early stages of hypertension, and pretty damn pissed.
