What Causes Lowering Of BP On Excess Intake Of Martinis?
Thanks!
6 days ago I foolishly drank too many martinis...foolish because I'd really not been drinking at all for about 3 months. I fell and hit my head on a tile floor...still have the bump to prove it. My first memory of room spinning. That, of course, persisted into the next day when I had mostly dry heaves. I've 'come right', but still have a bit of a sensation of dizziness when I rise from horizontal to vertical. My blood pressure was 115 over 50 when checked 2 days ago. I'm usually a bit low...120 over 60 or so. Have been drinking lots of water and alkalyzing and taking complete hi quality supplements. What now, Doc?
Any ideas, advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your query, in my opinion if you have taken a large amount of martinis, had a fall, had at least an external injury on head, felt dizzy and have lower blood pressure, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible
