Problems with Low Blood Pressure and Blackouts (Fainting)

You might not eat enough salt. Salt raises the blood pressure.

You might not eat enough salt. Salt raises the blood pressure.

That might be the case. Over the past few months, I have not really been consuming lots of salty meals, at least in comparison to dairy products and fruits.

When you were active, was there a complete improvement?

Yes. When I was jogging every two days, I gained such great form and my blood pressure, despite still being lower than average, was very close to the normal value and there were not any problems that I am having now. I noticed it was easier for me to do anything that required physical exertion. Actually, I came home recently after jogging. This is the first time I did a 10-circle run since last year, and I actually feel lighter on my feet and more energized.

And of course, I’m going to ask, are you doing any Yoga or Qigong? Meditation in general? You should be doing that. Low blood pressure accompanies overall low vitality.

I'm considerably new to JoS, and I am still learning by reading and translating some stuff, such as the Personalities. However, due to my social situation, overly zealous Catholic family, I cannot easily commit to Zevism without repercussions, which is why I have been translating some of the stuff from the website into my region's language - a way for me to contribute to the best of my abilities and the situation I am in. However, I could do Yoga without drawing to much attention, but I would need something that would be friendly to a beginner until I am comfortable to advance in terms of the exercises.

So we have to look at the quality and state of your blood, kidneys and liver.

My general medical analysis is great, even the level of iron in blood, which I thought was a problem in my case due to my paleness, until the analysis proved otherwise. My doctor said that I was mostly lacking activity when I was overweight and sun exposure, though I do not handle the heat all that well and my city is known as one of the hottest cities in this part of Europe. However, I had problems with weight twice in my life and I managed to lose it both times, but the first time I did it in an ill-advised way - by avoiding food as much as possible. The second time (2019-2021) I did it properly by combining normal food intake with exercise.

Also, how is your eye health?

High stress levels? Any other health issues?

My eye health and general are great, never had any problems with eyesight, and I do not stress a lot.

Are you able to access certain herbs? I have a couple that can help you but just wanted to see what your answers are.

I have access to variety of herbs such as oregano, turmeric, paprika, garlic, parsley, mint, chili, chamomile, horseradish, lavender, ginger.

How is your diet? I mean, I would like to know details? A lot of people think their diets are good, but that’s not always so. Basic nutrition is not enough these days. And for complete health, you need diet, overall mental and emotional well being, the life force through meditation and spiritual exercises, personal fulfillment, fresh air, etc, etc.

My diet was much better months ago than it is now. Usually, my breakfast consists of eggs and cheese, milk or yogurt (the milk and yogurt I consume is homemade authentic milk and not the one you find at the stores) and bread. I have a tendency to eat fruits in between meals such as apples, bananas and melons. For lunch, during summertime, I usually do not eat a lot of cooked meals. It is usually something simple like potatoes and mincemeat, or mac and combination of cheese or meat, but if I do not consume that, then it is cheese creams. As for dinner, I tend to skip it usually, opting out for healthy deserts such as yogurts with fruit and proteins. There are times when I forget to drink water, especially when I am busy.

When it comes to my mental health, I do suffer from depression at times, mostly because of some past events such as me losing a parent at a young age and witnessing his death, or the difficulties I faced during childhood and teenage years because of my introverted personality and different thinking from the rest of my peers, as well as some personal mistakes. It usually occurs in the evening, just before bedtime. As for my personal fulfillment, I tend to experience bursts of happiness when doing things that I like such as writing, translating, teaching and learning through reading and information inquiry, which is why I enjoy doing the JOS translation for my region. Lately, I have been going out for evening strolls in order to get some fresh air and to enjoy the landscape in my city instead of spending most of my time at home, which has been helpful for my artistic pursuits.

So far, based on that, it seems like you just need to stay healthy by moving your blood and body, and increasi your life force through meditation practices. The life force being low is one cause of depression.

I think you should try a quick Surya Namaskara yoga routine or Qigong (Standing like a Tree) exercise. They are good for beginners and won’t require much of you. Also, try Breath of fire meditation.

Definitely try that for now.

As for herbs, I was talking more like ginseng and ashwagandha. Not sure if you have access to that.

Thank you, sister. I have increased my physical activity this week by running and stretching a lot, and it has definitely paid off. I will follow your guidance and implement the yoga routines into my daily activities. Usually, I run at the evenings, so I will do the Yoga meditations in the morning.

Ever since our last posts, I managed to make my woes go away. Yesterday, I measured my blood pressure, and it resulted in 120/77 mm Hg. I added casual exercise to my daily plan and altered the type of food I consume. Most of the meals I have been eating were salty and it also included soups and porridges with meat, and I have been drinking lots of water as well. And I do not feel sleepy during the day as I used to. Thanks.
