Hi,

In healthy people, low blood pressure without any symptoms is not usually a concern and does not need to be treated.

But low blood pressure can be a sign of an underlying problem -- especially in the elderly -- where it may cause inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.

Depending on the cause of your symptoms, your doctor may tell you to increase your blood pressure by making these simple changes:
Eat a diet higher in salt.
Drink lots of nonalcoholic fluids.
Limit alcoholic beverages.
Drink more fluids during hot weather and while sick with a viral illness, such as a cold or the flu.
Have your doctor evaluate your prescription and over-the-counter medications to see if any of them are causing your symptoms.
Get regular exercise to promote blood flow.
Be careful when rising from lying down or sitting position.

Fludrocortisone and midodrine are the drugs that are often used in treating low blood pressure.

Please talk to your doctor who may prescribe any of these drugs if required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma,
General & Family Physician
