hypotension??

[PureMoon]

for the past 5 months Ive been getting really low blood pressures at times its as bad as 80/40 Its hard to stay awake and its really affecting me mentally, like I cant think straight a lot of times, does anyone have anything I could try to slightly raise it? it was always 120/80 or 90 before. I did try increasing salt, it doesnt really do much. please if anyone has any advice
id love to hear..

ive been seen by my doctor and he doesnt know how to treat it because we arent sure whats causing it, but a lot of tests have been ran

My wife is having the same issue. Very low blood pressure and the docs are not much help at all. My wife's bp is generally in the mid 80's over mid 60's. We are experimenting with all sorts of natural ways to increase it but haven't found anything yet that does the trick. How much water are you consuming a day?

Let me know if you have found any solutions since you posted.

Thanks!

Yes I get quite low blood pressure at times too and sometimes I get dizzy because of it.

If your doctor is a family physician, he might not treat that many cases of hypotension. Talk to him about a referral to an internist (internal medicine specialist) as they see many more such cases.

Have you ever tried the ginseng ??
it's a natural herb commonly used as memory enhancer, physical and mental adaptogen
It's available in many pharmaceutical preparartions .Its common side effect is elevation of blood pressure when you use it over long periods. I got benefit from this side effect and my B.p started to improve by time
