I have low blood pressure, and as my fitness increases it drops even further.
I tend to get Postural Change Hypotension (world blacks out when standing up) on weeks where I'm doing high mileage or the day after intervals. Have been to my GP a couple of times over the years and they think it's relatively harmless.
It's annoying though, is there anything I can do with my nutrition to help out ? Start adding salt or similar to drinks ?
I already drink a fair amount of coffee, feck know how low my blood pressure would go If I gave that up..
