Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Drinking water alone won't lower your blood pressure.

If you have mild to moderate degree of dehydration then isotonic fluids like ORS should help. That would be a better option then replacing it with free water alone.

please consult your doctor before taking any further course of action

wishing you best of health

Thanks
