5 home remedies for low blood pressure
When you suddenly feel dizzy, unwell or listless, low blood pressure is often the cause. We’ve put together five tips on how to get your circulation going again.
Many people are sensitive to sudden changes in the weather, such as foehn winds. They feel dizzy, unwell and listless and see black spots in front of their eyes. This is often caused by a temporary drop in their blood pressure. Short-term low blood pressure can also occur if you stand up too quickly, if your blood sugar levels are low or if you’ve lost a lot of fluid, e.g. through sweating, vomiting or diarrhoea. This is usually no cause for concern, provided that you are otherwise healthy and the symptoms are only temporary. We’ve put together five tips on how to get your circulation going again.
