I forgot one item. One reason for low BP and heart rate is dehydration. Try drinking 12 oz. of water and recheck your vitals in 15 minutes. See if this helps.

I can always use a reminder to drink water! Thank you.

Good advice! I am under orders to drink 2 liters of water a day. I have a water bottle that I have with me and sip several times an hour. Otherwise, I would forget to make sure I am hydrated.

Yes, I too drink a lot of water. Also, Dr. mentioned to shake a small amount of salt in palm of hand and ingest it, or a little coffee, (even decaf since it has cafine in it.) If I'm really dragging, after taking meds as prescribed, I try coffee. Haven't drank if for many years, but seems to help for a few hours.
