I hydrate and eat salty foods. I make sure medical folks know my blood pressure is low, especially EMT's.

1 ReactionDo you know why your BP is dropping when you stand? Your biggest concern for orthostatic hypotension is falling and passing out. Yes hydration is important but finding out the reason so you can apply the correct solution? Are you on BP meds? Are you dehydrated? There are many questions to address with your PCP.
