high blood pressure is worse then low.why you would want to prevent low blood pressure is beyond me
1. Drink lots of fill up to maintain blood volume and avoid thirst.
2. Avoid overly hot showers or baths, which can cause the body’s temperature to rise.
3. After resting or sitting, stand up slowly and carefully to help your body to adjust to the pull of gravity.
4. Make sure to get sufficient sleep. Fatigue is also a contributing thing in hypotension, especially orthostatic hypotension.
5. Eat small meals. Eating heavy meals can play a role in hypotension, since the digestion process requires more blood in the digestive tract. So, rather then eating three large meals eat many small meals to help the digestive system.
6. Avoid alcohol.
7. Avoid standing for long periods of time.
8. Some experts recommend wearing stockings, which may help decrease the progression of blood in the lower limbs, which occurs when abruptly standing.
9. If you have just begun a new medication, such as an anti-depressant, and have noticed lately that you feel faint or lightheaded upon standing, talk to your doctor. Some medications cause low blood pressure.
Blood pressure in the lower range is really a excellent thing as long as the person does not have symptoms of lightheadedness or dizziness. High blood pressure is worse, because it is a known risk thing for many conditions including heart disease and strokes. The simplest way to determine if you have low or high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked. You can have your blood pressure checked at the doctor’s office manually, because this is the most accurate. If that is not an option you can try out it at a store that has a blood pressure watch. Low blood pressure usually does not require treatment or dietary modifications unless the person has symptoms. Salt and fluid consumption can increase blood pressure. Caffeine and nicotine also increase blood pressure, but I would not recommend using them for this purpose. If symptoms are present, then you should be evaluated by your doctor.
