Low blood pressure ?

Question

I am 8 weeks pregnant and have had low blood pressure since 5 weeks. It drops very low. My doctor said it happens and told me to stay very hydrated. Up my salt intake. Small frequent snacks. Slowly get up from sitting or laying down. And not to be on my feet for long periods. 
Some days it isnt terrible. But today I almost fainted 3 times. 
Has anyone dealt with this and has some tips?

Answer

I actually had issues with low blood pressure when I was little and passed out a lot because of it. Best to keep a salty snack on you (like a little bag of chips, cheese it's, or nuts) and have water or Gatorade within reach in case you start feeling off. I also found that a good breakfast was super important so give yourself extra time in the morning to fuel up. Good luck mama

Answer

Compression socks! Gatorade, salt like he said. Lots of water. Those are always my go-tos

Answer

Dealing with it now! And I work in the operating room so that has been extra special. Good luck!!!
