Me Being Stupid

[ala_tariel]

I just read that tomatoes can lower blood pressure. Effectively.
No wonder I feel dizzy lately. I'm dizzy now. I ate one tomato religiously every night in the last fortnight.
Gee...it's me being stupid again.
So, any idea how to raise blood pressure in a quick way?

Salt. Eat something like a cracker or sugar.
Don't you have any med for rairing the pressure?

[ala_tariel]

I have crackers at work. Oh, I chose the right food then.
Right now, I don't have any med for raising BP. I guess I have to go to a doctor.

I have Effortil/Topfen, these are drops for rising the very low pressure

[ala_tariel]

I am writing down the meds. Just in case they are available in my place. Thank you.

chocolate :P or something sweet

[ala_tariel]

Oh thank you.
But I don't have chocolate here. Only candies. I guess they'll work too. :D

Read anything you-know-who-related heheh. Or watch the Suzuli cup final at the stadium ;)

Tomato is good for your health, all those anti-oxidant it contains. Eating one each night shouldn't be a problem. I'd say, continue with it! Just don't eat, like, a kilo of it at one go.

Have you had your blood presure checked?

[ala_tariel]

Oh my, that final. Hahahaha...we were sooo bad!

But yeah, I tried to read spn_g and got dizzier. *giggles*

I won't eat a kilo of tomatoes in one go. My Mum would be angry. :D:D:D
But yes, the fruit is good for the liver as well.

And nope, I haven't checked it.

Daniel loves tomatoes!! I wish I love it too so I could eat it as well, but it's not really my favourite. I like the small, honey cherry tomatoes but I only take them on occasion.

There's no specific med to raise the blood pressure unless it's critically down, eg when you're losing a lot of blood.

Just got back from clinic and my BP is 90/70. Normally 120/80
And the doc said nothing about stopping eat tomatoes. :D

Run, Forrest!!
He, sorry. But seriously, move. Excercise. If you're getting dizzyspells and headaches you can fix it with walking 30 minutes or so a day. Coffee will spike your blood pressure as well, but that is only temporarily.
I second layne67, keep eating your tomatoes. Never lay off the veggies unless your allergic. Low pressure is as far as I know seldom dangerous, just annoying.
Don't you go falling over now!
:hugs::

Just got back from clinic and the doc said to exercise. I said I take yoga class. But not today though.
My blood pressure is 90/70. Normally 120/80.
I love tomatoes. I will keep eat them. Not everyday though.
Thank you, Vesta.

See? It's nothing you can't handle. Your pressure is a bit on the low side but that should be easily sorted. I have faith in you :)

The small, sweet cherry tomatoes go as candy here. Son eats them by the ton.

[ala_tariel]

I should try cherry tomatoes. Never eat them before. :D

Wanna raise your BP? Take some GC and DH twice a day :D.
Just kidding. I hope you feel better soon.

[ala_tariel]

Already feel better, thanks to the meds and candies. :D
Thank you.
