I know that's scary with him fainting. I hope they can get this fixed quickly. Praying the medicine won't be to expensive. I'm thankful for our insurance!

We are working with his cardiologist and neurologist who specializes in movement disorders. The neurologist wants to increase his CL but can't until the blood pressure is ok. He takes midodrine 10mg three times per day but he still is fainting. His cardiologist has prescribed a specialty medicine, Northera (droxidopa). We are waiting for the cost. We were told yesterday that we have to pay 28%. We have no idea what that is.
