Your experience of lightheadedness likely suggests a decrease in blood pressure due to the combined effects of your current medication and the adaptogenic properties of Brahmi and Shankapushpi. Both of these Ayurvedic herbs support cognitive function and can have a soothing effect on the nervous system, which might influence blood pressure levels.
First, consider monitoring your blood pressure more frequently, perhaps twice daily, to understand how these herbs and your medication affect it. Since you’re currently experiencing lightheadedness, continue taking Brahmi, as it’s generally milder on its own. Reducing Shankapushpi might be prudent, as its calming nature can further lower blood pressure.
For dosing, you could try taking the Brahmi powder in the morning. Start with an even lower dose than you’re currently using—perhaps an eighth of a teaspoon to diminish any impact on blood pressure. If your blood pressure stays stable and the lightheadedness diminishes, consider increasing the Brahmi dosage only gradually.
Maintain your evening dose of Pressure Eeze Forte, but ensure it’s at least a few hours apart from your morning Brahmi intake. Discontinue Shankapushpi for now, and reassess its addition later, only if your doctor advises it.
Nevertheless, always consult a healthcare professional familiar with both conventional and Ayurvedic treatments before adjusting your medications or herbal supplements. Continue prioritizing balanced meals and regular physical activity to support overall health.
