Bp 100/80 when standing. doctor said no change to meds until i see cardiologist. what can i do to raise systolic until then? i do get lightheaded. thx

Low BP: We don't normally worry too much about "low" blood pressure unless you're complaining about lightheadedness, dizziness or feeling faint. It's more important to monitor blood pressure & heart rate while laying down, then sitting up & finally standing. If there's a significant increase in heart rate or drop in blood pressure, we worry. In meantime, drink plenty of fluids. And enjoy salt in food
