Can only speak from experience. My husband and I always had very low blood pressure and seem to be able to handle it using more salt than other people and drinking coffee. Often high or low blood pressure can be caused by tablets, let the doctor advise you. Check your diet, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables are good for balancing blood pressure.

I voted this as best answer because you were the only person to say "let the doctor advise you". Great job with that suggestion here in the health section.

Aww... please do take care of yourself right now. :( Here are some things you can do to cure it or at lease feel better.

1. Drink lots of water. Hydrating yourself will help in avoiding your blood volume to reduce.
2. Drink beetroot juice at least twice a day too. This juice is beneficial for those who are suffering from low blood.
3. Whenever you feel like your blood pressure is lowering down, drink a strong coffee (without cream).
4. Eat foods rich in Vit. C and B as well as those that contains proteins. These effectively treat low blood pressure.
5. Exercise often to keep you in shape and to keep your blood pressure in the normal level.

Research too for other things you can do to prevent your blood pressure from lowering down. Prevention is always better than cure. My first advise which is to drink water is effective so make sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday. Try to avoid stressing yourself much too and get enough sleep. Keep yourself healthy, always. :)

Low blood pressure have readings lower than 90 systolic or 60 diastolic.

-quote-

"Low blood pressure, also called hypotension, would seem to be something to strive for. After all, high blood pressure (hypertension) is a well-known risk factor for heart disease and other problems. In fact, in recent years there has been an ongoing downward revision of what is considered a normal blood pressure reading. A blood pressure less than 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) is now considered normal and optimal for good health.

Some experts define low blood pressure as readings lower than 90 systolic or 60 diastolic – you need to have only one number in the low range for your blood pressure to be considered lower than normal. In other words, if your systolic pressure is a perfect 115, but your diastolic pressure is 50, you’re considered to have lower than normal pressure"
