What to eat when blood pressure is low during pregnancy?
My bp keeps coming low and i feel dizzy when i stand up, almost fainted yesterday morning. Im in 2nd trimester. Any foods that helped you keep it up? pls share what worked.
My mother used to give me buttermilk and coconut water when I felt faint, and a little extra salt in food. It helped me a lot. But do tell your gynac if you feel dizzy often, they should know.
Food helps but if you are feeling very dizzy, fainting or have blurred vision, please call your doctor, low BP can be risky for both of you. I would keep snacks handy and never stand for too long. Get it checked properly rather than just managing at home.
When my BP dipped I would eat small frequent meals, sip salty buttermilk or nimbu pani with a pinch of salt, and stay well hydrated. Getting up slowly helped too so I didnt feel dizzy. Dont skip meals, that made it worse for me.
With my sickness and low BP, small bites through the day and lots of fluids were the only thing that kept me from feeling faint. Keep dry snacks like biscuits near you. Rise slowly from bed, that sudden head spin is the worst.
