A member asked:
Why is blood pressure dropping after meals? only recovers if take a vit b complex. bp has always been stable.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bp drop: Postprandial drop in bp is more common in the elderly as their autonomic nervous system may malfunction and fail to regulate arterial pressure when blood flows away from the cardiovascular tree and enters the gi tract for digestion to occur. I can understand the relationship with vitamin B complex in your case or why your bp drops after eating. Heart rate often accelerates after meals.Does yours?
