Hi,

If you are feeling well and not experiencing any symptoms related to low blood pressure, such as dizziness or fainting, then your blood pressure reading may be acceptable for you. However, if you are concerned about your low blood pressure, you should talk to your doctor.

Some lifestyle changes can help to increase blood pressure, including:
* Increasing salt intake: Salt helps to retain water in the body, which can help to increase blood volume and blood pressure. However, this may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease, so it is important to discuss this with your doctor.
* Staying hydrated: Dehydration can cause blood pressure to drop, so it is important to drink plenty of fluids, especially water.
* Exercising regularly: Exercise can help to improve circulation and increase blood volume, which can help to raise blood pressure. However, it is important to talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program.
* Wearing compression stockings: Compression stockings will help to improve the flow of blood and prevent blood from pooling in the legs, which can help to increase blood pressure.
* Avoid standing up quickly: When standing up quickly, blood can pool in the legs and cause a drop in blood pressure. To avoid this, try to stand up slowly and avoid sudden movements.

It is important to note that you should always talk to your doctor before making any changes to your medication or lifestyle.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
