I get it a bit as well and was given to believe the following:
In the UK they rarely treat low blood pressure unless it is a serious problem while in some other countries they do give you treatment. If you are feeling dizzy all the time then i guess it is a serious problem and as they can treat it in other countries i guess that medication is available. With this in mind it would be worth getting to see the doc.
I don't get any treatment but it really doesn't cause me any serious problems in normal life.
Does anyone know what the situation is about driving when it is causing you problems? I mean is there any chance wwp8 could go to the doc only to be told not to drive?

He might be told to use discretion due to the way he feels at the time.
Seriously fulltime low blood pressure wouldn't allow you to get out of bed anyway, let alone drive.
Nobody has their license revoked for flu after all so it really is down to the discretion of the license holder.
wwp8 - Do you feel worse after a pee?

The average b/p is 120 over 80, most doctors surgeries will be more than happy to give you a test, age will play a part in it, the older you are, and your weight also, the higher it will be.

He/she will then tell you there are no tablets, cut out the wanking for a day and that he/she will see you again if you want to come back should it not improve.

btw i had that check in 2002, and she said my blood pressure was excellent (or was it good )
(i still get dizzy from crouching during that time too)

If you want a cure for low blood pressure try eating a kilo of cheese a day covered in salt,followed by 2 gallons of cheap cider,a sack of Pork scratchings,6 big macs and half a dozen hand shandies.

My blood pressure dropped considerably after the bypass operation and they always ask me if I get any symptoms like yours, which I luckily don't. Its about 115/80 which I understand is pretty good.
Certainly worth getting it checked out though, better its low than high anyway.
