need info on blood pressure i have low blood pressure and in need of what to do for it?

Answer 1

Low blood pressure is a GOOD thing to have. When you have low blood pressure, your heart, veins, and arteries don't have to work so hard to push the blood through and around in your body. The only down fall of low blood pressure is that sometimes you may feel tired or sluggish. Do you drink coffee? Maybe you'd wanna start. Eating salt will raise your blood pressure but this is not healthy. Have you expressed this concern to your doctor? There are prescription medicines out there that will raise blood pressure but you must be seen by a doctor first.

Answer 2

Initially, your doctor may counsel you to increase your blood pressure by making these simple changes:

Eat a diet higher in salt.
Drink lots of non-alcoholic fluids — a minimum of eight glasses per day. Sports drinks that are high in sodium and potassium are recommended, especially during exercise or in hot weather.
Consume extra salt and drink more fluids during hot weather and while sick with a viral illness, such as a cold or the flu.
Have your doctor evaluate your prescription and over-the-counter medications to identify any that may be causing your symptoms.
Get regular exercise to promote blood flow.
Be careful when rising from a prone or sitting position. To improve circulation, stretch your feet back and forth before standing up. Then proceed slowly. When getting out of bed, sit upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes before standing.
Elevate the head of your bed at night by 5-20 degrees by placing bricks or blocks under the head of bed.
Avoid heavy lifting.
Avoid straining while on the toilet.
Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, such as hot showers and spas. If you get dizzy, sit down. It may be helpful to keep a chair or stool in the shower in case you need to sit; to help prevent injury, use a chair or stool that is specifically designed for showers or bath tubs.
To avoid problems with low blood pressure after meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals and resting after eating to lessen episodes of dizziness. Avoid taking low blood pressure drugs before meals.
If needed, use elastic support (compression) stockings that cover the calf and thigh. These may help restrict blood flow to the legs, thus keeping more blood in the upper body.
If tolerated, drink coffee in the morning. The amount of caffeine normally found in two cups of coffee (250 mg) can decrease low blood pressure in young adults and can be safely used by older adults as well. If these measures don't lessen the problem, you may need medication.
