@jackiepon, Just remembered that the cardio also suggested I eat something salty (which is opposite for h b.p. and kidney patients)and to drink more water even if I feel well hydrated..something about making the vessels tighter and causing the heart to pump better...another thing he mentioned was that if my systolic dropped below 90, I was having an episode. Of course, when it happens, we don't need a b.p. cuff to realize what is happening but it can confirm the OH so I take mine as soon as possible afterwards.
