Please Suggest A Cure For Low Blood Pressure
Hi, I have been running a low grade temp and very low blood pressure 88/50 all week. I have small vessel heart disease, but has been under control w/diet, exercise and meds; although I haven t been able to exercise for 3 weeks. I just feel awful and can t seem to get up my energy level. Any suggestions? p.s. in the past, my heart doc has told me to eat something very very salty to get my blood pressure up as I tend to be hyptensive (110/70-100/60) Thank you!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
As mentioned by your doctor , the use of excess salt would be helpful in causing your blood pressure to increase.
In addition to this, the use of increased fluids would also help.
You may also benefit from support stockings.
I hope this helps
