   How low is your BP? Generally speaking low BP is only a problem if you are symptomatic. If your BP is too low (hypotention is defined as a symptomatic reading of below 90/60) then the underlying cause will need to be investigated. Treatment is the advised accordingly.

   Even if BP is below 90/60, it isn’t necessarily a problem unless you are symptomatic or there has been a big drop in your average BP reading, if this is the case then of course low BP can be indicative of other problems.

   It is important you do NOT do this without your Drs say so and of course a confirmation that your BP is too low and needs treatment. Increasing salt in your diet will help (too much salt can lead to heart failure, so this must NOT be done without supervision), increase water intake-this will increase blood volume and drug therapy is sometimes needed
