You ever be showering and your vision starts going fuzzy and you have to sit down so you don’t pass out and fall?

Or is that just me?

I did before getting a shower chair. My blood pressure is pretty low and heat lowers that further.

@NerdyPotato that’s probably my issue
@MommaBear and there's no medication to raise blood pressure because the market for that isn't big enough to make it profitable. Yay capitalism 🥲
@NerdyPotato I believe the combo of more salt and more fluids can raise blood pressure in a safe way.
@ElwoodBlues in theory, yes. When it's as low as ours, that's not sufficient though.

@ElwoodBlues that’s what my mother has to do, she has orthostatic hypotension

She needs to drink an insane amount of water and up her salt intake. She also takes midodrine
