ANXIETY AND LOW BP

Does anyone else suffer from low blood pressure and anxiety?

The gp said I have low BP and the dizziness and lightheadedness from it has sparked my anxiety.

He said it's common for women under 25 to develop this after they've had a baby.

So I need to have more salt in my diet to try and raise my blood pressure.

Well dizziness and lightheadedness 《- is this a word :)... can undoubtedly cause anxiety and is a main trigger for it. It causes you to think of fundamental problems with your inner workings. However that said take solace in the fact he's asked you to take in more salt as I would guess if it was at a concerning level he would take more appropriate action. And who doesn't like salt on their chips 👍

Did your doctor mention water? That's the usual response, drink another 2 litres of water a day and your blood pressure will be normal. Worth a try.
