low blood pressure/easily giddy

misintentions10 SG

hi people,

i would like to seek your help something relatively..serious?

my girlfriend has got low blood pressure and feels giddy every other day. she often has no appetite and looks very pale half the time. it's worrying and really painful to see her vomit out her food at times and seeing how she feels giddy, gets headaches often, it really hurts me.

does anyone know of any, well, good doctors that can give good advice on this? or would chinese medicine help? i overheard a few aunties talking on a bus about how chinese medicine works great and one of their daughters actually became quite healthy after taking chi med after awhile..

anyone help please? Sad thanks so much...

Go see a polyclinic doctor then see how? Question

I think you ought to bring your girlfriend to a neighbourhood doctor & tell him/her about the problem so he/she will tell you what to do & if the need arises, he’ll refer you to a higher level of medical help. No offence but its better to take western medications (i.m.o) rather than chinese ones but of course, its up to the individual…

eat more iron based food?
like red meat...

cos maybe to increase red blood cells...

NT2 SG

let her eat more red meat and pork liver.....iron tablets is also not bad.

but most importantly see a GP first.

gohkatkat SG

low blood pressure..........opposing to high blood pressure.....take those things that those high blood pressure people can't take......that will revert her to normal i guess.......things like salt....fat.......tyramine..............you should be able to discern.......

i think it's been a long while, but ever since this year it's been worse...that makes it about, 5, 6 months? i thought it was study stress but apparently it's ongoing and she's seen the doctor pretty often...the doctor just gives her anti-vertigo medicine....

;(

Take iron tablets
It helps. Works better than anti-vertigo tabs for me Mr. Green

Find doctor and seek advice. Polyclinic one will do.

I recommend looking up these areas

1)change of diet...get advice from doctor...but generally eating more fruits and vegetables helps anyway
2)Exercise...improve the body ability and general fitness,like cycling these kind of more relaxing

end up low blood pressure + diabetic.

Ask her go Neuroscience Institute for a thorough checkup.

huy SG

yea.. i used to be like that too.. my doc say i lack of glucose... so normally in the morning, i will drink a glass of glucose... and take sweets when i feel tired... chinese medicine do help... they says it help "bu qi".. try drinking dom too..

most importantly, mus have balance diet.. eat ur meals regularly.. even if u aren;t hungry. jus eat a bit..

misintentions10 SG

oh then which chinese doctors/medicine did you take? was it helpful?

you know sometimes it just pains so much to see her suddenly look so pale, and look like she's going to faint anytime...then we'll just sit down at one corner and as she closes her eyes to rest she looks so tired. it hurts me so bad. i really wish i could suffer for her instead..
