My blood pressure has been on the lower side recently, and I'm pregnant. I'm wondering if there are any safe ways to naturally help raise my blood pressure during this time.
For low BP, just drink plenty of liquids throughout the day like nimbu paani, coconut water, or buttermilk with a pinch of salt. Don't stand up suddenly from bed, sit for a minute first. Keeping some salted peanuts or biscuits handy also really helps.
When I was staying at my mom's place, my BP dropped and I felt very weak. My mother used to give me fresh beetroot juice and make sure I had small meals every two hours. It really helped me feel energetic again, but do ask your doctor once.
Low BP just gave me a perfect excuse to eat more salted chips and lie down on the sofa all day! Jokes aside, staying hydrated is key, so keep a water bottle next to you. If you feel like you are spinning, just lie down with your legs elevated.
Low BP is very common as the circulatory system expands in pregnancy. Try to eat small, frequent meals instead of heavy ones, and add a little extra salt to your diet if your doctor agrees. But if you feel extreme dizziness or faint, please call your gynac immediately.
I had low BP during my second trimester, so my doctor advised me to avoid any strenuous yoga and only stick to very gentle walks when I felt energetic. Hydration is key, so drink lots of water and electrolyte drinks. Always check with your doctor before trying any new routine.
With twins, my body was working double time and my BP would drop like a stone. I basically lived on coconut water and ORS packets! Just keep snacking, don't stay empty stomach, and don't try to be a superwoman—take proper rest.
Ghar pe thoda nimbu namak ka paani peeyo, isse turant aaram milta hai. Aur bhookhe pet mat raho, thoda thoda kuch khati raho. Apne doctor se bhi ek baar baat kar lena.
I've heard low BP is quite common in the early months. I am planning my pregnancy now and wondering if keeping ORS or salt water at home is a good idea? Hope you get your energy back soon!
