LOW BLOOD PRESSURE - How to prevent and treat low blood pressure



Low blood pressure can affect anyone when a situation 
prompts a sudden drop in blood pressure. 
The problem can also be related to specific diseases 
or medications and it's also more likely 
to affect people as they get older.
How to prevent and treat low blood pressure
 
For those prone to low blood pressure these tips may help:
  • Stand up slowly from a lying or seated position, especially when you wake up
  • Drink enough fluids
  • Wear compression tights

The treatment for low blood pressure is determined by its cause. If, for example, low blood pressure is found to be caused by a type of medication, a doctor may alter the dosage. If a specific cause isn't identified, drugs may be used to raise blood pressure.
