How To Manage Low Blood Pressure Yourself

Low blood pressure, or hypotension, is defined as a measurement below 90/60 mmHg. While it doesn’t always present with noticeable symptoms, treatment might be necessary if they do appear.

Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure

If you frequently experience symptoms such as:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Blurred vision
  • General weakness
  • Confusion
  • Fainting

it’s important to have your blood pressure checked, as these could indicate it’s too low. If these symptoms occur when you stand up or change positions quickly, you might have postural hypotension, a specific type of low blood pressure.

Causes of Low Blood Pressure

Blood pressure naturally fluctuates throughout the day based on your activities and emotions. Several factors can lead to low blood pressure, including:

  • Being physically fit
  • Genetic factors
  • Aging
  • Pregnancy
  • Medical conditions like diabetes
  • Certain medications

Tips for Managing Low Blood Pressure Symptoms

To help manage symptoms of low blood pressure, consider these tips:

  • Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions.
  • Transition slowly from lying to sitting or standing, particularly when getting out of bed.
  • Eat smaller, more frequent meals and rest after eating.
  • Drink more fluids.
  • Avoid prolonged standing or sitting.
  • Refrain from sudden movements or bending down quickly.
  • Limit alcohol consumption.
