Long term Covid causing low BP?

About 2 weeks after the positive covid test (12/27) my BP dropped significantly. The neurologist and nephrologist diagnosed long term Covid. They prescribed midodrine (10mg 3x daily). My BP is still low (90/42) and my dizziness and wobbliness continue. How can I increase my BP?

Special testing is required. EKG. Echocardiogram. Blood testing. Then therapy will be specific to the etiologies and pathophysiological changes. Midodrine is helpful and can benefit you. Other remedies aim at heart and inflammation.
