What kind of diet for low blood pressure?




Topic started on 11-10-2007 @ 02:25 AM by Beachcoma


I haven't checked with a doctor yet, but I'm more than certain I've got low-blood pressure because most of the symptoms are there. Besides, I don't want some doctor who just wants to make money to sell me drugs.

So, what kind of foods should I eat to balance things out again?

Edit: Changed title..

Thanks! The first suggestion there really stood out for me.


Fill 'er up with water. Dehydration reduces blood volume, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure. "I tell my patients to drink liberally," Dr. Rosenthal says. He recommends drinking about one glass (eight ounces) per hour; other doctors suggest eight glasses a day.


No wonder I feel extra light-headed this entire month... I'm fasting. 40 minutes more to go.

Good find asala,
Mother Natures' website sums up all I could find on the subject myself.

Beechcoma,
I'm assuming you are checking your blood pressure on a regular basic not just going on the symptoms themselves to believe you have low bp?

Blood pressure levels seem a bit of a mystery to me. My wife and I both have high blood pressure, yet experience some of the symptoms of low bp.

Hey I'll trade you some of my blood pressure. Mine is too high still, and thats with a good diet and exercise. If you want to trade, I'll be more than happy to give you some.
