Those with low BP, have you tried wearing an abdominal binder? I wear one fairly tight. I works well for me. Still get dizzy sometimes, but not as often as I do when I don't wear it. _____ From: gina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 8:33 AM To: Quadius; quad-list Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] low BP.... Yes, I have Low Low Blood Pressure.. My doctor makes me go see him every month to keep a checkon it.Ive had it as low as 68/42.. highest I can get it without having A.D. is 102/78 and remember pain meds will lower your blood pressure too I take midrodrine 5mg 3 times a day...Also the doctor suggested to intake a lil extra salt it will help just becareful cause to much will cause more swelling/ bloating.

If I know I'm going to be traveling somewhere and I need to eat before I leave (have difficulty with hypoglycemia) I take ephedrine. I don't like to use it too often because it causes my heart to beat excessively. Once I am adjusted to being in the chair, sometimes can take an hour or two depending on how much I have eaten, I don't have too much difficulty, even without ephedrine. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about low blood pressure. Quadius
