I have low blood pressure of 84/50 and i was wondering what happens?

Low BP is only ever a problem if it’s so low that it’s unable to push blood around the body. Providing you are not symptomatic with dizziness etc, and you are otherwise well, there is no need to worry.

Rarely low BP can be indicative of problems such as cardiac problems, addisions disease and diabetes.

every morning when i awake in the morning i tend to be irritable and angry in the morning….does this have to do with low blood pressure?

i’m sorry i didn’t catch when you were irritable…was it the evening?

For someone with diabetes. Is it safe to fly if they are feeling dizzy and has been determined they have low blood pressure?

I am diabetic and have low blood pressure and fly frequently with my job. (my boss buys cars on ebay. i fly to where ever they are, pick them up and drive them back.) I don’t normally feel dizzy, though. If I feel dizzy and have low blood sugar, I drink a glass of orange juice and eat a few glucose tablets and check my sugar every 15 or 30 minutes until it is normal. If I were you, I would place a quick call to my doctor just to be sure.

my wife has low blood pressure which is causing dizziness and also faint. She’s pregnant and I am trying to find out how we can increase her bloody pressure by eating the right food, vitamis and anything which will help.

Proteins will help some by keeping her blood sugar level…however, I don’t know of any food that will raise her blood pressure. Maybe a reverse healthy diet that includes lots of sodium and such? No, not really. What has her doctor suggested?

I have really low blood pressure. I got it checked out at the doctor’s a little while ago because I would stand up at a normal pace and if I had ben sitting down for more than 5 minutes I’d get dizzy and lose my vision. I have an appointment for an echocardiologist to check this problem out (but it’s in November), but in the mean time I would like to know if there are certain healthy foods I can eat to make my blood pressure a bit higher. Thanks!

Oh, and if you don’t have a food suggestion, do you think it’s kind of self destructive of me to actually kind of want to pass out so I can get an earlier date for my doctor visit? I just hate waiting until marching band season is over to get this done because I’m scared I’ll pass out on the field during a show.

I don’t know about special food groups but a lack of salt or liquids can cause low blood pressure. Start with a salty meal in the morning and drink at least 3 litres a day (water, watered down juices, fruit teas). Avoid black tea, coffee and alcohol and have more small meals instead of three big ones a day.
Take cold showers or douse your feets and legs in cold water. Sleep with a raised upper body and keep moving during the day: Just wiggling(?) on your toes helps but jogging/swimming/cycling is better.
