What Is The Treatment For Low Blood Pressure?
Is there any thing you can do to raise low blood pressure? I know someone who looked as if they were having a seizure but turned out to be the body's response to low blood pressure and the fact she needed to lie down. She passed out and eventually came to.

Hi There
Low blood pressure if causing symptoms can be handled by making the patient LIE DOWN with his/her legs slightly elevated, give lots of water to drink, if possible give a cup of strong coffee to drink as it contains caffeine which helps increase the BP and also dietary salt can be increased.
Once the condition improves a physician consultation should be taken to find out the underlying cause.
Good LUCK
