Low blood pressure

Is there any way of raising low blood pressure? I know you can eat certain foods to loxer your blood pressure, but can it work the other way round too?

Drugs

I know that low blood pressure can be caused by some anti-anxiety drugs, aneasthetics and heart medecines, and also dehydration, so make sure you drink loads of water and rest as much as you can.

You could talk

to your GP about it.

My mum always had problems with low blood pressure and there was nothing she could do about it. She good some medicine from the GP to make sure she wouldn't faint or feel dizzy the whole time.

Being outside in the fresh air helps, as well, just as a healthy lifestyle in general. Smoking and alcohol certainly don't contribute to any improvement.

Sorry about the mistake

"she GOT some medicine from the GP"....

LOL

I knew what you meant Glaswegian!
Thanks very much for the help

I don't think so

I think you just need to look after yourself and not overdo it. Also, not standing up for long periods of time, but this can't always be avoided.

Dont worry

My doctor said that its alot better to have low blood pressure than high. Just thought i'd let u know! may put your mind at rest a bit
