Low blood pressure

[Stef F]

I have low blood pressure which is not an issue normally.

Recently I've increased my training a lot and have started having bouts of giddy attacks.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I can do to restore normality?

I would put the Giddyness down to the forthcoming BG Steff

How low is your BP? Most people who are told they have a low BP actually have a normal BP. Training normally lowers BP but if you are feeling lightheaded when you get up you need to be sure you are eating/drinking enough to make up for the extra calorie/fluid losses of your increased training.

I don't know how low it is but it's not unhealthy, just low enough to raise comment when in hospital.

I've been eating well recently; will try drinking more.

I too have low blood pressure, many comments by doctor etc. Keep eating and drinking little and often and take your time standing up from sitting works best for me
