Increase Fluid Intake
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, which can lower blood pressure.
- The more water you drink, the more it helps regulate your blood pressure. That’s why drinking plenty of water is very important to maintain healthy blood pressure.
- Include fluids like coconut water or electrolyte drinks if needed.
Eat Small, Frequent Meals
- Large meals can sometimes lower blood pressure.
- Eat smaller meals more often to maintain stable blood pressure levels.
Include Salty Foods (Moderately)
- Salt can help raise blood pressure slightly.
- Avoid excess salt if you have heart or kidney issues; consult your doctor.
Wear Compression Stockings
These improve blood circulation in the legs and prevent blood from pooling, which can reduce dizziness
Avoid Sudden Movements
Get up slowly from sitting or lying down to prevent dizziness or fainting.
Never get up suddenly. If you are sleeping, do not get up immediately. Even if you are sitting somewhere, do not stand up abruptly. Rise slowly and relaxed.
Limit Alcohol
Alcohol can lower blood pressure further, so avoid excessive consumption.
If you are habitual to alcohol, you cannot quit it immediately. Therefore, alcohol should be consumed in limited amounts, otherwise, you should stay completely away from it.
Exercise Regularly
- Light to moderate exercise improves circulation and blood pressure.
- Avoid sudden or very intense workouts if prone to dizziness.
Monitor Blood Pressure
Keep track of your blood pressure regularly to notice any sudden drops.
It is also very important to monitor blood pressure; only then will you know whether your blood pressure is stable or not.
Consult a Doctor
