In this video, I talk about what causes low blood pressure.

Low blood pressure can cause a lot of problems. It can make you feel dizzy or just not yourself.

1. Postural hypotension (POTS) - This is an issue of low B1 or adrenal fatigue.

2. Dehydration - Too much exercise or vomiting, diarrhea, and diuretics can cause dehydration and low blood pressure.

3. Low salt - If your sodium level is low, your body won’t be able to retain the right amount of fluid. This can also cause low blood pressure.

4. Addison’s - This is a condition where your adrenals aren’t working correctly. This can cause sodium deficiency and low blood pressure.

5. Drugs - Diuretics, high blood pressure medications, and anti-depressants may cause low blood pressure as a side effect.

6. Low B12 or low folate - Being low in either of these nutrients can cause anemia and low blood pressure.

7. Post-prandial - Consuming a meal can cause your blood pressure to drop because of a weakness in the autonomic nervous system.

8. Heart weakness - A heart condition could be the cause of low blood pressure. Heart conditions can also cause high blood pressure.

9. Anemia - Those with anemia oftentimes suffer from low blood pressure.

My mother and I have low bp.
My mother keeps going to ER for feeling faint and they wanted to put in a pace maker!
She drinks 10-12 big glasses of water and iced tea a day.
Finally one doctor said her sodium is really low. Hmmm I wonder why?! 😅
He put her on sodium chloride pills.
Why didn’t he just tell her to drink less fluid and take more iodized salt.
I can’t believe they wanted to put a pacemaker in her.
My father one day was in ER with my mother and sister-in-law, both RN nurses.
Mom called me that dad had almost fainted and they didn’t know what was wrong, neither did the doctors. She asked me to pray become she was afraid it was his heart.
I said, “Let me talk to Dad.”
“Hi Dad, tell me what you did today.”
“I went to the gym.”
“Did you sit in the hot tub too?”
“Yes.”
“Ok what did you do before that?”
“Well I had a beer with lunch”
“Ok, any water all day?”
“No just coffee.”
“Ok what did you do after working out and sitting in the hot tub?”
“I stopped at The Local and had a glass of red wine.”
“Ok Dad let me talk to Mom.”
“Mom, Dad is dehydrated. Tell the doctor all he did today, and get him some water and an IV.”
She called me later and said “You were right!”
I cannot believe the doctor did not ask simple questions and 2 RN’s couldn’t think. I think the medical field is doing a poor job of teaching critical thinking skills.

WOW! This is the first time I've ever heard a doctor talk about low blood pressure being a problem. It has always been a problem for me. Doctors have always told me that my 95/65 (sometimes less) blood pressure is good. I always say "not for me!". I'm so happy you made this video. Now I'm going to see if there is one on adrenal problems. Thank you!

[julivictoria]

Wow. I'm a nurse. And you teach facts they didn't teach me in nursing school
Thank you, sir

MY USUAL BLOOD PRESSURE IS AROUND 126/78! NOW I HAVE HAD IT FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS 106/78 AND BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE MINOR DIZZY ! I AM A LITTLE WORRIED BECAUSE THERE WAS A DAY WHEN I COULDN'T STAND STABLE AND WHILE WALKING I WAS DRAGGED TO A CERTAIN SIDE, SAYING TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS GRABING ON OBJECTS SO I COULD EVEN GET TO THE TOILET FOR EXAMPLE !

SOMEONE WILL SAY MY PRESSURE IS OK, BUT NOT FOR ME !

MR. BERG EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS OF THIS PHENOMENON WELL !

NOW I AM INTERESTED IN WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ?

THUMB UP !👍

Thank you for this video! You brought things altogether and they make sense. I have addisons and struggle with low blood pressure and falling asleep easily during the day if I'm still enough.

Dr Eric Berg is my new favourite YouTube channel and I like watching you because I am shocked with your knowledge and I learned something new every time I watched your video

my hubby was diagnosed with Type2 Diabetes, when he was having issues with weakness and passing out, and all they did when taken to the hospital was worry about the diagnosis of diabetes and nothing else, even his doctors just want to pump him full of Low BP meds and NOT look for the reason for it. THANK YOU so MUCH just for the small amount of info you have provided in this video!!❤ He's gone from being a vibrant 70 yr. old to a man who has to use a walker just so he can have somewhere to quickly sit when he needs to....Dr. Berg, if there is more information you can point me to regarding his Low BP I would greatly appreciate it
