Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have suffered from low blood pressure for about 3 years now & will turn 62 next month. It gets so low I pass out! I spend a lot of time on the couch with my feet up and drinking a lot of water, tea, etc. I am so tired of this. Have to check my blood pressure before I drive my car. Must be over 100. Usually runs in the 90 s/50 s. Please tell me how i can get it up above 100 all the time. I really want to start to enjoy my life again. Thanks.
