my bp came low in last checkup and i keep feeling weak and a bit faint by afternoon. doc said keep an eye on it. how do u all deal with low bp? any small things that helped?
Managing low BP at work is tough. I always kept electoral powder or ORS in my bag, and made sure to stand up slowly from my desk. Definitely discuss this with your doctor during your next visit to see if you need any adjustments.
I panicked so much when my BP showed 90/60 in my second trimester! But my gynac reassured me it is totally normal as long as there is no severe dizziness. Drinking nimbu paani with salt and sugar helped me a lot, so try that.
At my hospital, the medical team advised me to drink plenty of fluids and add a little extra salt to my meals if my BP dropped. They also told me to always report any dizziness to the hospital staff immediately. Please call your gynac to discuss your readings.
Listen, don't worry, low BP is quite common in the first two trimesters because the blood vessels expand. Just make sure you are drinking lots of water and lemon juice with a pinch of salt. But if you feel very weak or dizzy, please check with your doctor, okay?
Actually, staying hydrated is the key to managing low BP. Drink buttermilk, coconut water, and eat small frequent meals so your sugar and BP don't drop suddenly. If you experience continuous dizziness, do check with your doctor for safety.
My BP dropped once and the doctor recommended a simple salt-sugar solution and some routine blood tests to check hemoglobin. Instead of rushing for expensive treatments, just ask your doctor if basic dietary changes and regular monitoring are enough.
