Low Blood Pressure

I use lots of herbs and essential oils, I do have a very common herb growing in my garden that help with slightly raising blood pressure. I think for me, a lot of it's to do with fybromyalgia

Which is why we have to become proactive, about our health.

Professionals are too 'One Size Fits All'. I prefer 'Horses for Courses'.

I have low blood pressure, it does seem to go hand in hand with not eating enough and hot weather certainly dosen't help. Doctors always assume that low blood pressure is a good thing, even when I'm feeling dizzy from it. The only time it was really commented on was pre surgery when it was 70/50 and I shouldn't have been concious, they still didn't do anything about it other than let me have a boiled sweet to bring it back up again.

I didn't have breakfast, before, yes.

I'm reducing my carb intake. However, I just had Spuds, along with a steak and beans.

Several times, when walking, I had to rest, and support myself on a pillar/post, as I felt like fainting.

This can also happen with low blood sugar - are you confident you had enough carbs to eat before the exercise?

Slow release carbs are typically good options for this so breakfast cerials like corn flakes, bran flakes and puffed rice are suitable and for lunch / dinner it is good to have plenty of root veg or corn.
