Topic: Raising Blood Pressure

For those with low blood pressure, what do you do to raise it?

I've got moderately low blood pressure that can drop to 90/60. But my new pain specialist prescribed Zanaflex which can lower blood pressure.

I'm worried the Zanaflex will work, but will lower my blood pressure too much. In that case, can I raise my bp?

Right now, I drink salt water when I get dizzy and it helps. Can I increase salt intake or take salt tablets? Are there medication options?

Thanks for all your advice.

I read somewhere that licorice root raises BP...might want to google it....

Salt only works for some...it doesn't affect my BP at all...
