How Can I Increase My Systolic BP Levels?
Question: My systolic blood pressure is 89. What can I do to raise it?
Brief Answer:
Skip the dose, Have some ORS or salt, sugar and water
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You can skip the Carvedilol dose and from next time onwards have lower dose. Also, if you are not having any symptoms like dizziness, fainting, you can just observe and it will increase with time as the effect of the medicine wears off.
If you have those symptoms or BP falls further, have some ORS 200 ml or a teaspoon salt and sugar in 200 ml water, and recheck it in another half an hour.
Hope I have answered your query.
