Can Low Blood Pressure Levels Be Treated While Experiencing Extreme Fatigue?

My Daughter is 23 . Her blood pressure is 78/45. She is feeling tired. She is an athlete and runs several miles a day. She is 6 tall and weights around 135. I believe she is dehydrated. I told her to push fluids and increase salt intake to increase blood pressure. Any advice? When should we consider taking her to ER?

Hi

I understand your concern.

Ok, before sending to ER, should continue increase salt intake, advise to have a coffee and lots of fluids with OTC ORS (oral rehydration salts like gatorade).

If still tired and still blood pressure (bp) is measured low, then, send to ER. Should evaluate for any blood disorder (complete blood count should be checked to rule out anemia and blood electrolytes).

Hope this helps.
