Should i stay home?
I'm not sure you should stay home or not but I do consider you to go to the doctor.
In case you feel weak or feel like fainting again (I hope it DOESN'T happen) eat some candy, cake, juice, or something high in sugar to prevent fainting.
I hope these answers helps you.
Add more salt in your diet,keep well hydrated, the salt helps your body to retain the fluid you ingest, that is why it is not recommended for people with a tendency for elevated B.P.
Someone suggested caffeine will increase BP, not necessarily, it tends to increase heart rate, but not always cardiac output.
Cardiac output = Heart rate x stroke volume.
Also other compensatory mechanisms come into play.
i have same problem as well, and also anemia, check yorself for anemia. when u feel fainty just sit down . you dont need to stay home. mix yogurt , water and salt and drink that mix when you feel fainty. raisins and nuts are good as well.
tea and coffee. Caffeine raises blood pressure.
Low blood pressure generally means below 90/60.
Perhaps you could investigate a web search for "low blood pressure" + "natural remedies".
