So, I’m 17, 110 Ibs, and have been diagnosed with hypotension – low blood pressure. It’s better than high blood pressure, but there’s some pretty bad symptoms that come with it – when I’m sitting down for even a few minutes, and then go to get up (however slowly), it feels like all the blood rushes to my head, and I can get fairly dizzy. I can also see the capillaries behind my eyes when this happens. It feels like my head gets all tense and heavy.

Went to the doctor. "Oh, just get up slowly, drink lots of water…"

Uh, yeah. That’s not helping. I want a cure for this condition, or explanations as to why I got it in the first place, not a treatment tip that won’t work.

The hypotension started in November 2010.

I did take prozac as a pick-me-up, small dose once per day, for the past two years. I stopped taking it in January, a few months after the hypotension started, because I thought it was a side-effect. I also developed hypohidrosis (excessive sweating) at around the same time I got the hypotension. Both these symptoms are symptoms of prozac use, but I don’t think it’s because of the prozac – after all, shouldn’t they have gone away by now? And why did they start so late into the treatment time?

Thanks for any help. Serious answers only please.

Its been years that I have been looking for a remedy to cure my poor sleep patterns. I have tried so many different medications, none of which have worked…. In the last few months, I have noticed whenever I have tried an herb that helps blood circulation(such as ginger or cayenne peper pills) or drink wine at night, or excersice really hard during the day(such as yoga or 1 hour or more cardio) I sleep deep and feel rested in the morning…. well, the common denaminator of all that is working is improving my blood circulation…. I have always had very low blood pressure…anyways, I am looking for recommendation on other remedies that can help blood circulation(since wine, ginger, cayenne peper all give me stomach problems)…….. can u recommend other vitamins or supplements that don’t effect the digestive tracks yet promote blood circulation the same way as the herbs mentions???? THANK U!

i dont have the problem….. my 85 year old dad has the low blood pressure.
a couple of months ago he checked his BP and it was normal 120/80
today he checked his BP and it was 90/50
he doesnt want to go to the doctor.
he said he gets "spacey" about 10 times a day (light headed or dizzy)
he does not take any medication for low or high blood pressure
my dad goes to work everyday and walks at the track a couple days a week (so he’s ACTIVE)
he has a PACEMAKER and has had heart problems in the past
he eats VERY HEALTHY (fruits and veggies all day) with 1 coors light before he goes to sleep
PLEASE WILL SOMEONE HELP???????
ps NATURAL CURES if possible, he prefers to not take MEDICATION (but he will if he HAS TO)

I went to the doctor today because I thought I may be anemic. I’m tired all the time, get dizzy frequently, crunch on ice all the time, etc. She told me that it’s not anemia – it’s low blood pressure. But it’s not life-threatening, so she gave me a quick speech that generally boiled down to "deal with it" and left the room. I’m glad to see my health is not in danger, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a huge hassle and makes it difficult to get anything done. Is there anything I can do at home to help remedy this???

I got an severe electric shock while ironing clothes. I was a low blood pressure person. But after that my blood pressure shoots very high with pain in my right arm which was actually a victim. Please suggest me some remedies.

Ever since she was 12, she has been developing blue sclera, stretchy skin, chronic muscle pain, and dehydration.Her abdomen swells when under high stress
She also gets really oily skin , and has low blood pressure.
She usually gets a low heart rate like 50-60, but then it goes to 170-195 when doing any significant exercise.
She also gets headaches…but they go away if she drinks a lot of water.
Probably the most significant thing though is that she has gained a lot of weight through the years, and has been dieting.
She also seems to have a lump on the top of her mouth, and we both think it’s weird.
She has already been tested for disease’s similliar to cushing’s syndrome, but everything was negative.
Anyone recognize these symptoms?
The doctors have never been able to diagnose her correctly, and I don’t want to lose her because doctors failed to cure her in time. =(
She’s only 20 years old and she is usually in alot of pain and I don’t like seeing her in pain.

I am trying to stop being bulimic. I had not binged/purged for over a week and a half. I went for a physical and had very low blood pressure. Could my past bulimic routine cause that and how can I remedy that? Thanks so much for any info you can give me. Also I am always so fatigued, and my veins bulge, could those things be related to blood pressure too???
How do I fix this???

I have very low blood pressure (81).
My doctor has prescribed salt but I am trying to search for other remedies as well as she says she wants me to try a medication if i can’t get it up on my own.
So I heard beet root juice would help.
I don’t have a juicer, can I buy raw beet root juice?
Is it expensive? Is there something to put in it to make it taste better such as a spice or something?
Also is canned beetroot the same thing?
I am confused.
Please help thanks!

I’m not here to ask you to try and change someone’s mind, just what would happen medically ?
A Male, 16 years old. No previous medical conditions other than Asthma and Nut allergy.
Now, since last year has developed ( i dont know what word to use) Anorexia Nervosa with Bulimic Tendacies. He begins to dislike food a lot, as he doesnt like the idea of gaining weight, if ever he gains a few pounds when he checks each morning, he tends to fast the next day (Read more to understand this part) He takes Caffeine tablets to keep his metabolism fairly high thus high heart rate and loses some weight. However gets frequent headaches so takes paracetamol regularly also. He is not dangerously low, he is 6foot 2 and weight 62-65KG.
3 days ago, he checked his scales, put on a few pounds, decided to eat less than normal, then the next day takes 2 caffeine tablets (had 300mg day before) and 2 anti histamine (He is very cautious). He took the caffeine as he THOUGHT it was going to keep him awake, it kind of did the opposite. This had never happened to him before. When in college, he felt a little bit dizzy and nauseous, he takes 2 more caffeine and 2 more anti histamines, he thinks it could be his allergy (it isnt). As it had never happened before, he thought it was his allergy. That person had Severe abdominal cramps that day, worse than usual hunger, but ignored it. 15 Mins after taking the last caffeine tablets, He Crashed.
Went all dizzy, Blacked out, Hearing went, then Feinted. He wakes up 8 seconds later and sees everyone staring at him, at this moment it appears to be a dream, like did that really happen? Then the first aider takes him outside, the Lad tries to be sick, but only vomits back up his Anti histamine pill, as he has empty stomach. Lies down for a few minutes, is feeling slightly better, carries on the rest of his day. No hospital, nothing. Then looks on the internet. Hypoglycaemic SHOCK matched perfectly, low blood pressure. Also to note, he apparently was Convulsing, which seemed strange, thats what 3 people said, although it wasnt bad, just mild. He then gets very worried, and finds a cure for the fainting.
GLUCOSE tablets, lucozade to be more precise, it would keep him from fainting as his levels would be raised, and back to normal even though he never ate that much. Neuroglycopenia also, matched perfectly. He inst Diabetic or Epileptic.

IN A NUTSHELL: I’m looking for NATURAL remedies for the blood volume increase at this point, thanks!

———————————————————————————————–

I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I can’t stand I get dizzy and black out due to blood pooling in my legs. I have extreme low blood pressure and I’m seeking natural remedies because I also have severe MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, can’t take drugs, the chemicals in them trigger a reaction and if my BP gets any lower I could die. I’ve already passed out, been in a coma etc…)

I also have severe hypoadrenalism (adrenal failure), hypo-cortisol & hypo-aldosterone. HYPO = TOO LOW!

Recently I heard the term "hypovolemia" and that I don’t have enough blood volume. Why is that?

I drink a lot of water. Not too much so I don’t drown but really a lot.

My face gets very bloated at times. It was fine last night then it became bloated in a moment.

Is there any relation to eating vegetables and fruit and this condition? any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Which nasal spray should I use? How much each time?
I have a ridiculously intense cold which is preventing me from sleeping and studying. The main problem is my nose. First of all, antihistamines produce side effects for me (scary dreams, confusion, more nasal blockage), and so my only option seems to be nasal spray. I have two nasal sprays: Oxymetazoline hydrochloride .05%, which is supposed to be taken 2-3 sprays twice a day, and ephedrine hydrochloride, which has about 20 mg of ephedrine per 3 drops, according to the box, and can be taken 3-4 times per day. Can I take both of these medicines? Neither of them seem to last long, and if I were really to use the Oxymetazoline whenever I needed to, it would be more like 5 times per day, as the "12 hour formula" only lasts less than 5 hours for me. I’m scared of overdosing on one of them, so should I alternate? Take one during the day, one at night? Would it be okay to use the oxymetazoline or the ephedrine more than the recommended dosage, seeing as not sleeping is very damaging to my health????

BTW I have very low blood pressure 80/50 if this makes a difference in terms of my tolerance of these nasal sprays.

I am 21 and I do not have horriable acne but at any given time I can break out with between one-ten pimples on my face, it got really bad when I went on tri-sprintec birthcontrol… the only thing that clears my face is yaz birth control however, I couldn’t afford it this month it is like 70 dollars at my local rite aid and I think 65 at wal-mart pharm. Yaz stops my skin from getting oily, I have tried cheaper birthcontrol and the only one is yaz… ortho-tri, trisprintec, and the like ten others I tried that I can’t remember the name don’t do it. I know there is a blood pressure med called spiro for short that was accidently discovered to cure hormonal acne aswell, however I don’t want to be stuck on pills to treat my acne. I know its hormonal, and I have noticed that since I couldn’t get yaz this month my oily skin came right back. Perhaps I have a hormonal or potassium imbalance? Does anyone have any experiance with this particular type of acne and birthcontrol?

I naturally have low blood pressure, my grandfather passed it down to my mother and she passed it down to me. When I am getting ready to start my peroid if I stand up my eyes go black and I cant see and I get a tingly feeling like when your foots asleep. On a very rare ocassion it will make the tips of my fingers tingle aswell.

I also have a non-related health issure with hearing… I try to keep it a secret but I have suffered hearing damage from having cronic ear infections and ruptured ear drums. I am young and I don’t want many people to know because I guess I am vain and want to be seen as healthy n pretty lol.

P.s for my acne I use clean and clear foam face wash, and the old moisterizer not the new formula. This is the only was n moisterizer I use, I’d recomend it, its gentle and doesn’t irritate my skin.

I’m pregnant and have low blood pressure. I’m now having issues with fainting because of it. Is there any way that I can get it higher without hurting the baby?

I was prescribed with my first inattentive ADD treatment -Adderall- yesterday. But before taking it in for the first time right now, I constantly feel very lightheaded everytime I stand up, and it’s been like that for a year. I sometimes don’t drink a lot of water, and it might be possible that the cause for it is low blood pressure (but i dont know). Should I take in Adderall for my ADD, or wil the side effects worsen what im feeling right now?

Please can someone tell me, I have tried asking before but got no reply that actually told me how it happens?
If you already have Low Blood Pressure, but in a healthy way so you get no symptoms. Then when you get stressed or upset you suddenly get symptoms for a while, how does that work, what does the stress do to make the symptoms start.
When I say symptoms I mean, light-headedness, dizziness, weakness and fainting.
