my 14 year old grand son, fainted after a run. Been exercising preparing for it. Not a good eater and not sure if he drinks enough water when doing sports. He fainted was sent to hospital and after heart tests doctors said only thing was he has low blood pressure. A week later went to doctor and he has low blood pressure and told to eat salty foods. What is the cause of low blood pressure and will he ever have normal blood pressure? Will eating foods that raise it will foods cure him?
