For doctors, what healthy food would raise my blood pressure..?

Question

I have low blood pressure, especially in Summer, I feel dizzy and tired. I know that alcoholic drinks raise my blood pressure for a while, but I'm not a frequent drinker. Also salted stuff would help but I noticed that only the systolic goes up, while the diastolic stays low, is it possible? I measure my blood pressure at home, in the morning, sometimes it's 86-56. I'm forty years old, I weigh around 127 lb. What type of food would help me feel better in the Summer time? Should I reduce sweets? I walk, but if it's hot outside, I have to exercise inside. Please, help me.

Answer 1

you feel dizzy maybe because you have low blood pressure. my advice to you is maybe check with the doctor to find the cause. if your blood pressure is 86/56 and normally you get that reading, this means that its your normal range. by the way, the normal blood pressure for adults is 100-120/60-80.

if your problem is not hypoglycemic (low blood sugar), taking sweet will not help. and please dont take too much salt, its not good for health.

Answer 2

I'm not a doctor but i do know that Bacon, Ham and other highly salted foods will get your blood pressure high.

Answer 3

Are you keeping well-hydrated? *Any* drinks should raise your blood pressure, especially ones that don't have caffeine. Try drinking more & see if it makes a difference. Have you been to a doctor? Have you had your iron level tested?

Answer 4

id you want to raise blood pressure go heavy on the salt, start smoking and eating doughnuts very often and it will be up there in no time

Answer 5

junk food
