I DON"T HAVE LOW BLOOD PRESURE

Answer 1

ur drunk...lol

Answer 2

I never blacked out, but I used to get tunnel vision when I would stand up, so it's a lot like you, just not as far down the scale.

You just have low blood pressure (which isn't necesssarily a bad thing), so stand up more slowly or do exercises that strengthen the heart - basically anything cardio will be a good start.

Answer 3

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.

The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

I used to have this happen for a month or two after a surgery. I had to be careful about it. Has something to do with low blood pressure, at least when I had the problem. It finally just went away on it's own.

Answer 5

I'll explain to you in layman's term.It has something to do with your blood circulation. When you recline or lie down, the blood is kind of stuck at the bottom and so when u stand up quickly you black out because the blood doesnt reach your brain that quick. So all you have to do is to move a little before you stand up to ensure good circulation.
Here's some things you can do:( i think you got orthostatic hypotension)
1. Use an automatic blood pressure cuff (about $30 at Walgreens or Radio Shack). Check blood pressure and pulse daily, preferably standing and lying flat, and record it. Also check blood pressure when you have symptoms.
2. If possible, eliminate medications that lower blood pressure (usually blood-pressure or heart medications). Check with your doctor first, however, to be sure that this is safe.
3. Take in extra amounts of salt - about 10 gm/day total. Another way to get extra salt is to use salt containing beverages (e.g. "gatorade"). If you start to have trouble breathing or get excessive swelling at the ankles, you may have to use less than 10 gm. Similarly, be careful not to overdo it and end up with hypertension.
4. Wear Jobst stockings (tight custom made leotard like garment -- worn by both men and women). These are often not well tolerated, especially in the summer.
5. Sleep with head of bed elevated about 15-20 degrees (4-6 inches). This maneuver increases blood volume and, after a few days, is helpful. It is also helpful in that it may reduce supine hypertension( sometimes blood pressure is too high lying flat, and too low standing up). Try to be up during the day, not lying in bed. Reconditioning may be helpful for persons who have been on bed rest for long periods of time.
6. Eat frequent small meals (because eating lowers blood pressure). Avoid sudden standing after eating.
7. Avoid straining at stool (because this may lower the blood pressure)
8. Avoid hot showers or excessive heat. Use air conditioners.
9. Get up gradually in the morning. Take 5 minutes to get up and use support. Perform isometric exercises before moving about.
10. Orthostatic training. Under the supervision of a physical therapist, gradually increased upright stance.

Tilt-training, a series of prescribed upright posture exercises may be helpful in vasovagal faints as well as orthostatic faints.

Answer 6

you black out because yr blood pressure changes really fast from sittin or laying to suddenly getting up. i have it too all the time. u can avoid it by not getting up fast and if lying, first sit 4 a few sec and then get up.can start taking some iron too 4 yr blood.

Answer 7

Sounds like orthostatic hypotension. In normal words, it means your blood pressure drops when you stand up. I would see a doctor if it becomes a problem....like if you actually pass out. Stand up slowly and see if it gets better.

Answer 8

that happened to me a couple of times not too long ago, and i blame it on lack of sleep, good eating habbits, and also if your like in a really hot room that can happen too, its like if you were to faint and this occurs because of blood preassure, your brain doesnt receive as much blood as usual so yea, if you work out a lot i would recomend taking a rest and sleeping ur eight hours everynight, and eat well, drink lots of water and try to stay as healthy as posible and that will fade away.

Answer 10

it's probably from standin up to fast. if u stand up to fast u get light headed and that can cause u to blackout. my teacher told me that that has happened to her sometimes. and ur blood pressure might be low. so get up slower and not so fast or try to raise ur blood pressure back to normal

Answer 11

yeah yeah its because you have sat for too long, then you stand up too quickly. and the blood rushes through and it happens to me a bunch and i have to sit back down. just get up slower, and if it happens, closing your eyes and shaking your head works.
