A member asked:

When on my periods my blood pressure is low , is there medication i can take ?

How low: How low does your BP get? Do you feel file you're going to faint when you get up from sitting or lying down? Are your periods heavy? If so, be sure to get checked for anemia. and ask your GYN to put you on a pill (or something else) that decreased your flow.
