Amye I used to do the same thing and my doc told me I was dehydrated and to force myself to drink more and it definitely worked for me.

what is the name of the med? mine is so low that i pass out 2-3 times a day sometimes... my doc put me on a high sodium, 3 ounces of dark chocolate a day and as much protein as i can cram down. most days it works, but the ones it doesn't are hard.....and scare everyone!
thanks..........

My spinal cord Dr. said it's normal for quads to have low blood pressure. When I have a u.t.i., one of the symptoms are low, 70/40. My norm is 100/80.
