Went to the doctor yesterday to get happy prescription papers. Having established that that's all I needed, he checked my BP (since almost everything is contraindicated if I have high BP) then looked at me and asked whether I ate much salt.

Yesterday, my BP was 80/50, which is a little lower than usual, and puts me over the line from border-line low with symptoms to officially low blood pressure.

Having taken up fairly regular exercise in the form of dancing since the last time this got checked, my brain thinks that there may be a link. Or it could be just the normal wierdness. Either way, not much I can do that I'm not doing already.

Hug dearling. I remember the fuss when I did my railways medical. The cut-off minimum for BP was 60/90 and I hit right on....

Good luck.

It's the fact that the GP suggested that some people take medications containing pseudoephedrine to reduce the problem that worries me. Also, aren't they supposed to recommend that you give up caffeine, not increase dosage?
