NATURAL remedies 4 low blood volume & low blood pressure?

Resolved Question

NATURAL remedies 4 low blood volume & low blood pressure?

IN A NUTSHELL: I'm looking for NATURAL remedies for the blood volume increase at this point, thanks!

--------------------------------------…



I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I can't stand I get dizzy and black out due to blood pooling in my legs. I have extreme low blood pressure and I'm seeking natural remedies because I also have severe MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, can't take drugs, the chemicals in them trigger a reaction and if my BP gets any lower I could die. I've already passed out, been in a coma etc...)

I also have severe hypoadrenalism (adrenal failure), hypo-cortisol & hypo-aldosterone. HYPO = TOO LOW!

Recently I heard the term "hypovolemia" and that I don't have enough blood volume. Why is that?

I drink a lot of water. Not too much so I don't drown but really a lot.

My face gets very bloated at times. It was fine last night then it became bloated in a moment.

Is there any relation to eating vegetables and fruit and this condition? any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I am sorry to hear of your situation with POTS..... and an adrenal problem. It is surely a double whammy!! There are some medications, such as fludrocortisone and others of which you must be aware. A lot depends on the underlying cause of your condition. I am amazed at the doctors reaction to your condition. It definitely is serious. It can be a very frustrating set of symptoms to find an answer for. I think you will have to go to a big city hospital such as Johns Hopkins in Baltimore to get some answers. As far as natural remedies (all of which are chemical compounds) it would be a very risky proposition for you to take them considering your chemical sensitivity. The possible adverse effects may far outweigh any slight potential benefit you may receive.
Johns Hopkins General Information # is 1-410-955-5000. I called and asked if they could refer me to a doctor that might have experience with your condition. She could not answer the question and transferred me to their referal co-ordinator, who was out at the time. I will keep digging and if I come up with anything I will pass it along. Best of luck to you.

  • Have you been to a Homeopathic MD? They exist, and they use all natural approaches to medical issues and are becoming more and more popular.
    It would be a good idea to find one of these specialists for your condition than to self medicate, even with an all natural approach your health concerns could become further disastrous by taking advice here.
