  • Depending on the cause of your symptoms, your doctor may counsel you to increase your blood pressure by making these simple changes
  • Eat a diet higher in salt
  • Drink lots of nonalcoholic fluids
  • Limit alcoholic beverages
  • Get regular exercise to promote blood flow.
  • To help improve circulation, pump your feet and ankles a few times before standing up
  • When getting out of bed, sit upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes
  • try eating smaller, more frequent meals. Cut back on carbohydrates. Rest after eating.
