In this video, we’re going to talk about low blood pressure and POTS.
POTS stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This is a condition where your blood pressure drops when you go from lying down to standing up. It also causes your heart rate to increase.
Symptoms of POTS include: • Dizziness • Lightheadedness • Fatigue • Nausea • Blurred vision • Loss of vision • Shakiness • Fainting
Your blood pressure should normally be around 120 (systolic)/80 (diastolic). Hypotension is when your blood pressure level is below 90 (systolic)/60 (diastolic).
As a side note, when people go into shock, this causes your blood pressure to lower. Shock can be caused by being overheated, overtraining, or taking certain medications.
What causes POTS? There are several possibilities.
1. Not enough blood in your body: • Internal bleeding • Anemia (often due to low iron) • Low sodium and dehydration • Diuretics • Vomiting and diarrhea
Those on a Healthy Keto diet often lose a lot of sodium at first. To counteract this, you can consume more salt.
2. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction: • Adrenal issues • Vitamin B1 deficiencies • Can be caused by defined carbs, sulfites, malabsorption, keto, and stress • Vitamin D deficiency
If you have low blood pressure or POTS, the best things to do are: • Increase sodium • Get more vitamin B1 • Take vitamin D3
