4. Drop in Blood Pressure

If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend fish oil as an option for lowering it. However, this benefit can create issues in people who already have low numbers and take fish oil in very high doses. Low blood pressure can cause fainting, fatigue, dehydration, and other health concerns.

Fish oil can also interact with medications meant to lower blood pressure. If you are on a blood pressure medication, make sure you monitor your blood pressure levels, and let your doctor know if they get too low.
