Question 1

how can i deal with low blood pressure in the heat

Accepted Answer

2 different things: blood pressure and blood sugar are probably 2 separate issues for you.
Most likely your drop pressure drops in the heat. If there is no other contraindication such as kidney problems, high blood pressure, taking more salt and fluids during diet and avoiding too much heat usually helps.

Question 2

can you please tell me how to live normally with low blood pressure, for years i have had fatigue, heat intolerance and sometimes arrhythmia?

Accepted Answer

Low blood pressure: You are 29 and have had low blood pressure and fatigue. Not everyone with low blood pressure has symptoms but  it is important to drink plenty of water, get up slowly and eat a very healthy diet.  Arrhythmia can be from other reasons and should be checked out

Question 3

what can i do for low blood pressure in men?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Like most of medicine we try to find the cause of the problem so we can target the therapy . Treating the underlying cause is the most effective therapy instead of just treating the symptoms. A full work up needs to be done with possible tests including and echo and tilt table test.

Question 4

what can low blood pressure cause in the body?

Accepted Answer

That depends: In general, low blood pressure is not a bad thing. People with low blood pressure live longer. However, in some cases the blood pressure is low because of disease and then it is not necessarily a good thing. If the blood pressure is too low the patient can pass out or get weak. Also the blood flow to the brain and kidneys can get too low causing mental status changes or kidney failure.

Question 5

what does having very low blood pressure imply?

Accepted Answer

It depends: As long as it is asymptomatic, low BP can imply health.  There are lots of people who have systolic blood pressures in the 90s (the top number) and feel just fine.  

If the low BP causes symptoms (lightheadedness), then that might mean a condition where the body has a hard time keeping the pressures elevated.  Your doctor can order a test to determine this.

Question 6

why do i have low blood pressure when standing?

Accepted Answer

This is orthostasis.: First therapy is drink planety of fluids and take salt (yes). Second is to check your blood pressure in different positions. If abnormal, your doctor will recommend a tilt table test, especially if symptomatic.

Question 7

how do you get a low blood pressure measurement?

Accepted Answer

Not quite sure: I understand your question...How do you lower? Or what is considered a low reading?

Question 8

what is a medical response to low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

It depends: If you mean low blood pressure in a seriously ill, hospitalized person (i.e. Septic shock) then generally we give fluids and sometimes certain medications to support the blood pressure, and we try to treat the underlying cause. If you mean a low-ish blood pressure in say a healthy person with no symptoms or signs of ill-effect, then often we don't do anything. In between? Probably further eval.

Question 9

what does that mean when u have low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Low BP: It means your blood pressure is low. Normal BP is around 120/80 mm hg.

Question 10

can you tell me how dangerous is low blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Normal blood pressure is 100 to 120 over 80 to 90 mm of mercury, low blood pressure is anything below that range. Low blood pressure can be 'normal' for some people and abnormal for others.
