I have just been for my monthly blood pressure check and have been told that my bp is now too low at 115/74. Pharmacist has told me to go back in 2 weeks to be monitored again but that if it continues to drop I will have to leave the programme. I have another 4 stone to lose and really don't want to do this! I do feel really dizzy and quite sick though and have done for over a week now so I can't ignore what she is telling me.
The Pharmacist said she thought the reason for my bp droppping so low was probably lack of salt so I am wondering if I can get around this problem by adding salt to my food packs. (this means I will have to start eating the soup which I dont like but will have to live with).
I will contact my LLC and see what she suggests but I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they have done to get around it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanksx
