Ack! Low blood pressure

  • I was feeling dizzy so I took my BP and it is 93/76. I normally run 116/78 so the bottom number isn't that changed but the top is. Yikes! Any suggestions for bringing it up a bit?
  • Contact a nurse/doctor's office/quick clinic for advice like this...

    Hope you're feeling better soon!
  • Are you eating enough? and having enough salt? Not sure if that would affect blood pressure but I know it makes me dizzy if I'm not eating enough and the book mentioned if you aren't getting enough salt you could be dizzy too. But if it keeps up I would call a dr/nurse too. My insurance has a number on the back of the card for a 24/7 nurse line. Take advantage of that if you have it.


    P.S. Congrats on your ticker!
  • I think I'm not getting enough salt. The same thing used to happen when I was pregnant and I would drink Gatorade. But even the low cal Gatorade has 7 grams of carbs.
  • dehydrated? systolic of 93 not too bad but given that you are symptomatic is. See you doctor and get regular BP checks, perhaps a physical
