Hi Steven
My husband also had problems with low blood pressure. Prior to treatment he was hypertensive and taking several medications to control his blood pressure. He ended up coming off all his blood pressure medication and his pressure never did go back up. He also had difficulty with postural hypertension i.e. his pressure dropping quickly when he stood up resulting in dizziness and loss of balance. He did also complain of frequently having a dull headache. Are you eating real food now or are you still on tube feeding or nutritional supplements. That seemed to make a difference for my husband, guess there is no bad stuff in the nutritional supplements to raise the blood pressure.
