Suggest Treatment For Chronic Low BP For Over Two Years
Question: I do have low blood pressure problem from last two years
Brief Answer:
Try home remedies, visit physician and confirm diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A wide range of underlying conditions can cause low blood pressure. It's important to identify the cause of low blood pressure so that appropriate treatment can be given.
Low BP can be due dehydration, trauma leading to bleeding, inflammations like acute pancreatitis or appendicitis, weakened heart, thyroid disorders, lack of nutrients like vitamin B12 deficiency, folate and anemia; side effects of drugs can also cause low BP.
I would suggest you to run a few investigations like complete blood count, vitamin B12, serum iron and thyroid profile test.
You can try these home remedies:
- Drink lemon juice with an extra pinch of salt. Increase your salt and fluid intake. Have pickles.
- Have a cup of strong coffee, hot chocolate, cola or any caffeinated beverage daily in the morning to increase your blood pressure.
- Raisins: Soak 30 - 40 raisins over night, and have them in the morning. Do it for a month and see the increase in your BP.
- Drinking Badam milk (Almond and milk) is also known to increase BP.
- Drink carrot juice with honey in the morning.
It is best to visit your physician for a detailed examination to confirm diagnosis and treat accordingly.
I hope this answers your query.
