Hi everyone!
Much love to us warriors!
I was wondering if anyone else has low blood pressure? I was at the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure was 83/53.
It's so strange to me because my BP is usually high....high enough that my Dr. put me on BP meds (Avalide) in February.

The odd thing is that I forgot to take my BP meds yesterday.
😮😮. Feeling faint and weak.

Thanks!!

The lowest I've had is 84/42 at home. It is higher at the doctor's office. My bp is generally on the low side, but that 42 concerned me a bit. I've told the doctors, but they don't seem concerned given I don't feel faint when it's that low.

Wow! That 42 is low. From what I read: as long as you're not having any symptoms then it seems like doctors brush it aside.
The strange thing was that I went to the Dr. on my LLMDs advice because I was fainting and having seizures. ??? 😲

Mine was in the same range for awhile (80/50) and I had a lot of lightheadedness and felt very weak. My LLMD said to just add salt to my diet. I started adding sea salt to a glass of water each morning. I also used Alka Seltzer Gold (which does have sodium in it) daily and still use Emergen-C powder daily. Eventually, it was okay! Hope you find some relief.

Yes, raspberryswirlgirl,

My BP has been running around the same and I've been taking SaltStick capsules and adding Himalayan pink salt to dishes that I normally wouldn't feel the need to spice up.

Standing for more than 20 minutes in one spot makes me feel pretty bad.

I hope with treatment we'll both find improvements very soon!

Pmm73 and Denver1,
Thank you SO much for your responses! Its so strange because I've been eliminating salt from my diet for years! So hooray!!
Ill definitely look into Emergency-C and the Saltstick.
Healing thoughts to you both. ..... Thank you!
