My wife is 32 years old. She has been batteling Ulcerative Colitis for about 6 months. Her flare ups are now under control with medications. But in the last month she has been having a problem with very low blood pressure this morning it was 82/48. This problem has caused her to be dizzy, faint. We have talked to the doctor about it. But he can't give us a reason for her sudden low blood pressure. We know it is not her medications, because we have done through research on them. She eats healthy, and works out at least 3 days a week. But now her blood pressure problem is keeping her from doing a lot of things for fear of passing out. Our family and friends have been very helpful in making sure she is not alone. We talked to a nurse and the only thing she could tell us was to increase her salt intake and fluids. We have spoken to her doctor about it. But he can't give us a reason for this problem, or any answers as to what we can do. Can anyone please tell me what we might be able to do?
