In this video, I talk about what causes low blood pressure.
Low blood pressure can cause a lot of problems. It can make you feel dizzy or just not yourself.
1. Postural hypotension (POTS) - This is an issue of low B1 or adrenal fatigue.
2. Dehydration - Too much exercise or vomiting, diarrhea, and diuretics can cause dehydration and low blood pressure.
3. Low salt - If your sodium level is low, your body won’t be able to retain the right amount of fluid. This can also cause low blood pressure.
4. Addison’s - This is a condition where your adrenals aren’t working correctly. This can cause sodium deficiency and low blood pressure.
5. Drugs - Diuretics, high blood pressure medications, and anti-depressants may cause low blood pressure as a side effect.
6. Low B12 or low folate - Being low in either of these nutrients can cause anemia and low blood pressure.
7. Post-prandial - Consuming a meal can cause your blood pressure to drop because of a weakness in the autonomic nervous system.
8. Heart weakness - A heart condition could be the cause of low blood pressure. Heart conditions can also cause high blood pressure.
9. Anemia - Those with anemia oftentimes suffer from low blood pressure.

My mother and I have low bp. My mother keeps going to ER for feeling faint and they wanted to put in a pace maker! She drinks 10-12 big glasses of water and iced tea a day. Finally one doctor said her sodium is really low. Hmmm I wonder why?! 😅 He put her on sodium chloride pills. Why didn’t he just tell her to drink less fluid and take more iodized salt. I can’t believe they wanted to put a pacemaker in her. My father one day was in ER with my mother and sister-in-law, both RN nurses. Mom called me that dad had almost fainted and they didn’t know what was wrong , neither did the doctors. She asked me to pray become she was afraid it was his heart. I said, “Let me talk to Dad.” “Hi Dad, tell me what you did today.” “I went to the gym.” “Did you sit in the hot tub too?” “Yes.” “Ok what did you do before that?” “Well I had a beer with lunch” “Ok, any water all day?” “No just coffee.” “Ok what did you do after working out and sitting in the hot tub?” “I stopped at The Local and had a glass of red wine.” “Ok Dad let me talk to Mom.” “Mom, Dad is dehydrated. Tell the doctor all he did today, and get him some water and an IV.” She called me later and said “You were right!” I cannot believe the doctor did not ask simple questions and 2 RN’s couldn’t think. I think the medical field is doing a poor job of teaching critical thinking skills.

[@fanofmansbestfriend]

They are absolutely awful, I kept having dehydration even after drinking a lot, because I was peeing a lot due to my POTs and low electrolytes. The Dr told me to see a gyno about my bladder, even though I already had a bladder scan.

I've had psoriasis off and on since I was in my teens but now it's in my palms and behind my neck all the time, I'm 52yrs old now. I have slipped disks and burning feet, neuropathy. My gall bladder has been taking out 2yrs ago. I was on pain meds terribly addicted 3 years ago. I I've since changed my diet, cut out most sugar, I'm a vegetarian, I'm mostly GF, now that I've been watching your videos I'm cutting all sugar and no gluten. Today I ate so much salad greens with, avocado half, lemon blended whole pinch of cayenne, salt because I love it so much, some Italian herbs, brags and olive oil. As dressing. I've taken a teaspoon of nutritional yeast, the vinegar, lemon and ginger drink, I also have been low in vit.d3 before so with sun everyday I took 8,000 BTU of D.3.

I have a few suggestions on what I have learned...I have low blood pressure that I think is likely due to adrenal issues, but I have noticed that adding sea salt to my water twice a day has helped a lot, including eating potassium high foods like dried apricots. I also take the 12 cell salts in homeopathy which helps a lot too. Iodine is another supplement to consider, and perhaps L-tyrosine for the thyroid which also plays a role in blood pressure. But another thing is juicing celery, celery juice contains so many minerals, when I drink 16 ounces of celery juice, my low blood pressure always goes up to normal.

I’m not dizzy when stand up from sitting. I do IF, and some days fasting. A month ago I did 3 day water fast without feeling hunger or loosing focus or strength, Just before finishing 72 hour fast, my sugar level was 2.6, and my ketones were high. That night and night after I stopped 3 day WF, I woke up about 1: 45 at night, and could not fall a sleep again for a while. Do you think I may have Adrenalin fatigue or any Adrenalin problem? I’m last 3 years on Methotrexate and Celebrex for Psoriatic arthritis.

I was peeling and eating fruit in my kitchen yesterday. I got *really* tired of chewing the seeds, broke out in a cold sweat, felt horribly dizzy, my vision and hearing started blacking out (ears were ringing), stumbled, and nearly fainted dead on the floor. That *never* happened to me before. I rested in a chair, went to my room to check my blood pressure, and got a reading of 94/(somewhere in the eighties). After feeling more stable, I ate a teaspoon of salt, drank several glasses of water, then felt better. 94 definitely wasn’t a good number for me, as I’m normally in 120’s-130’s. I feel ok now since yesterday, but wonder if I should’ve gone to the doctor anyway. The only reasons I can think of for the fainting episode was mental and physical stress, possibly my supplements, anemia, or the fact I was lying in bed all day, but it wasn’t like I immediately felt dizzy when I got up. I was standing for at least 10 minutes before it suddenly happened. I doubt it was dehydration, as it wasn’t hot and I drank as many fluids as I normally do. Low salt was definitely not the problem.

Today while having dinner I started feeling weakness in the body (couldn't make a fist) and feeling lightheaded. A week ago I got a severe cold I haven't gotten in years so I am taking Acetomenophine since yesterday. So it looks like I might belong to the "Post Prandial" category and somehow being sick or taking medication triggered it. Thanks Doctor Berg!

[@ayadhussin6771]

Low sodium is the cause. Sodium is the most important electrolyte to prioritize first than any other electrolytes.

[@oneweirdman]

i noticed if i take more sodium bicarbonate, my low blood pressure goes high but after a short time it goes to low again. i today tried to take 1 teaspoon magnessium sulphate first time and then re-take sodium again and i stayed in higher blood pleasure for longer time and felt drowsy but it was neither low and high pleasure it was normal. i mean if magnessium is low in the body, sodium is excreted in urine fastly and doesnt retain fluids. i have adrenal issues/low cortisol/sleep problems for a long time(not addison just big stress induced) and i found the solution to take more potassium + vitamin c which recovered my cortisol and protects adrenal glands fastly(i have no sleep problems anymore after potassium). but i also took B vitamins as well. my autoimmune condition(skin rashes) are lost after potassium intake. i can feel the cortisol can rise but ive severe dehydrated and no flood retention due to sodium deficiency/lose. in the condition where cortisol goes higher, i dont go high preasure but i can feel the cortsol effect from just bone pain and nose hole opening feeling(more oxigen) and often urine(peeing) so i found the final solution to take the magnessium to retain sodium in the body. this is just my personal experience.

I ,took her to A&E ..the Dr diagnosed dehydration put her on a drip and said I could take her home. Exactly the same thing happened the next evening,she collapsed,heart racing which I now know was from her blood pressure tanking but this time her poor heart couldnt keep going and she died holding my hand. The UTI was diagnosed too late and Macrobid doesnt fix it if it has got to the kidneys.
