Blood Pressure (BP), as we all know, is a common problem nowadays. Due to our contemporary lifestyle, either high or low blood pressure tends to take a permanent seat in our lives.

Though, visiting a doctor regularly and daily precautions are highly recommended yet there could be many things at home which can always keep the fluctuating BP under control.

120/80 mm Hg is considered to be normal blood pressure however, those who have an ideal weight and are physically fit can have blood pressure slightly lower than the normal. But this cannot be considered unhealthy till the time no symptoms are experienced.

However, if the blood pressure readings keep hovering below or around 90/60 mm Hg then one can be considered having low blood pressure. This condition is also known as hypotension and it happens due to many reasons like prolonged bed rest, pregnancy, dehydration, heart problems, nutritional deficiencies, endocrinal disorders, neurological problems etc.

In case, one has any of these problems and is seeing symptoms like dizziness, cold body, blurred vision, tiredness, nausea etc. then he or she should increase salt and fluid intake and cut down on high-carbohydrate food items and alcoholic beverages.

Other things which can be easily tried at home to control low blood pressure are as given below.

Home remedies for low blood pressure

1) Drink salty water. Simply add one or 1 and ½ tsp of salt in a glass of water and drink it. However, do not do it too many times.

2) You can also drink coffee, hot chocolate, or eat chocolate biscuits or any other caffeinated product to bring your BP under control.
