How to improve low BP
My wife generally has low bp but her most recent recording was 85/50 with pulse of 60. I believe her pulse is ok but bp is pretty low. All her other tests are normal. She is 40yrs old and I am worried about her. Her doc asked her to eat more salt to fix it with diet and exercise. Most google searches don't give a good result. Anything that has worked for people?
Is she slim? My bp usually measures around there because they always have giant armbands at the doctorâs office that my arm swims in. Get a bp monitor at home with a band that fits. Much more accurate.
No, she is not under or overweight
Does she have a thyroid condition? Long term hypothyroid and Hashimotos patients often have low BP. Unless she is dizzy, itâs not a problem.
No thyroid but don't know about the latter. She doesn't have any symptoms- dizziness, etc. She is mostly very energetic. She runs and very social.
Some people have low BP. I always have. Unless there are symptoms, donât worry about it.
Have her go work at Amazon. It should increase her blood pressure.
Haha
She needs to go to urgent care. Itâs not normal to have 80s. If itâs becomes 80s/40s, something is really wrong. She might have unknown heart issues. Get a second opinion. Not all doctors are good
Salt, electrolyte drinks and increase cardio. All three will help a lot.
