Dear lybrateuser, -your bp is on the lower side, monitor bp atleast once or twice a day, one reading should be in the morning on waking up -increase your intake of water, have atleast 7-8 glasses of water a day in addition to the other fluids, sprinkle a pinch of salt on food, do not skip breakfast, have regular meals - also do regular exercises, walking, jogging, cycling for about 30 min, do yoga & meditation for 5-10 min to relieve stress -also get check up done by your physician as to whether it is a side effect of the medication given, changing or stopping the drug may improve your condition.
