what can I do for my low blood pressure?

Question by Suzan K: what can I do for my low blood pressure?
My blood pressure is 96 /65 which is very low and I have a dull headache. How about coffee?
I was told to add some more table salt to my breakfast or lunch. Will it help?
Thanks.

Anything you do to artificially to make your blood pressure higher will just be short term.

Your blood pressure is low for a reason and that needs to be found out what it is. And then fix it if you can.
Some things that can lower your BP are bleeding, overdose on medication, side effect of medication, lack of food and nutrition eating disorders, vomiting etc.

If your BP is low for the first time, then don’t panic as it your BP changes all through the day from high, normal to low.

Standing up slowly will help you prevent fainting when you have a low blood pressure.
If you feel faint, sit or lay down straight away. Breath through your nose and out through your mouth. Don’t get up, when you do, do it slowly and with some help, when you feel better.

blood pressure and oxygen saturation monitoring.

Take a look at one aspect of blood pressure monitoring through the eyes of this video maker.

Don’t put the spo2 probe on the same arm as the bp cuff. Same goes for IV placement. Take cuff off if skin discolouration occurs :P

Blood pressure?

Question posed by meeee m: Blood pressure?
High school work help!!! I am revising for a biology exam (learning about the blood, blood pressure, blood flow, blood sugar levels etc.) I need help on blood pressure INVASIVE bp and NON INVASIVE blood pressure monitors. Can anyone please state the advantages and disadvantages of INVAISE blood pressure monitor. I have found most the advantages for NON INVASIVE but not INVASIVE.

Best answer:

Answer by saboe
Invasive blood pressure monitoring is more direct and therefore more accurate. Non-invasive methods have a larger margin of error and that margin of error increases depending on skill level of the person taking the measurement.

I’m 15 and today I went to the doctor and they told me my blood pressure is 130/60? I don’t have any idea if it’s normal or not, haha. I feel like it might be high but I was literally freaking out (for unrelated reasons, it’s a long story..) so I don’t know if that raised it? Anyway my grandpa died of diabetes so I just want to make sure I’m okay and stuff, even if it’s a stupid question..

All brands are good. The best ones are the arm ones. The wrist ones are a little less accurate and the finger ones are not recommended.

Is it possible to cure ancestral high blood pressure completely?

high blood pressure
by 427

Question posed by i: Is it possible to cure ancestral high blood pressure completely?
My father-in-law has ancestral high blood pressure. Also his heart is not healthy, so sometimes it affects the blood pressure to get higher either. Now when something happens or if his blood pressure gets higher he has to take really powerful medicine, which is not good for his other bodies. Even sometimes when his blood pressure gets higher he gets really close to the stroke. I could feel that. So my question is “Is it possible to cure ancestral high blood pressure, also high blood pressure that caused by heart abnormality?”

Selected answer:

Answer by Mel
It can’t be cured completely if it is genetically caused. Problems from it though, can be prevented through exercise, healthy eating habits, and taking care of one’s mental health and using stress reduction therapy.

If you know better then please let us know below.
