As you only mentioning that after low bp you are feeling dehydrated, But due to dehydration only you are getting low bp.a/c to some Prakriti if bp is 90 or 100 it’s normal If you don’t have any symptoms But meanwhile drink plenty of fluids lik coconut water butter milk daily and you can apply red sketch colour to left thumb below nail daily for 4 hours
Take 1/2tsp rock salt + 1tsp honey mix in a glass of fresh lime water Have this 3-4 glasses through out the day
Low blood pressure, or hypotension, as you mentioned, can indeed be bothersome. In Ayurveda, it’s essential to consider the balance of your doshas and individual constitution to address this effectively. Low BP could be related to Vata imbalance often, leading to symptoms like dizziness or fatigue.
First things first, let’s talk diet. Ensure you’re having a well-balanced diet including warm, nourishing foods such as vegetable soups, daal, and whole grains. Try to incorporate foods rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as they can help in stabilizing BP levels. Eating small frequent meals instead of three large meals may help maintain your energy levels. Coconut water and almond milk can also provide essential nutrients.
Hydration is crucial as dehydration might worsen hypotension. Start your day with a glass of warm water with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of honey. Guide your body through regular sips of water rather than drinking large quantities at once.
For instant relief when you feel your BP dropping, you might try drinking a glass of fresh pomegranate juice. It has properties known to help stabilize blood pressure. Also, keep rock salt or sendha namak at hand to add to your drinks or food when you sense a drop.
On the lifestyle front, regular light exercises like walking or yoga can improve circulation. Avoiding sudden postural changes like quickly going from sitting to standing can help reduce dizziness.
Regarding diagnostics, it is wise to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Labs like complete blood count (CBC), electrolyte panel, and thyroid function tests could be insightful. If dehydration feels pronounced, testing for adrenal function might be helpful. If there is no improvement or if symptoms worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
Please remember, if you experience severe symptoms like fainting or chest pain, it’s vital to seek immediate medical assistance.
