Causes of Low Blood Pressure

• Increasing Salt Intake Can Help Improve Hypotension
  
  Many different things can actually cause a person's blood pressure to become low. Blood Pressure identifies these as dehydration, low salt intake, bradycardia and tachycardia. Dehydration can be treated through an intake of fluid and electrolytes, but you should see your physician to determine if this is needed. Low blood pressure can sometimes be triggered by blood pressure medication, and if this is determined to be the cause then your physician will adjust the dosage or even prescribe a different medication.
  
  

Raising Blood Pressure

• Blood Pressure recommends some homeopathic methods of raising blood pressure. These include increasing your salt intake, eating enough calories and protein, taking an epsom salt bath, drinking beetroot juice twice a day, taking 30 to 40 mg of Indian spikenard and getting plenty of exercise.
  If these methods do not help to raise your low blood pressure, then you should seek medical assistance. Sometimes, low blood pressure can occur due to a loss of blood, such as a bleed inside the body that may not be immediately apparent.
