First, an evaluation of current medications should take place to see if something that is currently taken that is affecting blood pressure. If there is nothing Midodrin is a possibility. Also depends on how low of blood pressure is. Need to determine the underlying cause.
It depends on the cause of the low blood pressure. Low blood pressure is typically a sign of a more serious condition, especially when it is acute, so I would advise getting an exam by a doctor as soon as possible. Depending on your situation, the condition could be serious, so I have to advise visiting an emergency room.
As for the specific question at hand, there are a multitude of medications that can raise blood pressure. Two drugs commonly used are midodrine and fludrocortisone, which are used for orthostatic hypotension not caused by another acute condition. In addition, most stimulant drugs will cause a mild increase in blood pressure. For example, caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, etc.
