I went to the doc this morning after having some dizzyness and feeling lightheaded after standing for a bit. They did the typical stuff like weigh, blood pressure, temp etc. My blood pressure was only 98/90 and my temp was 96.4. My doc doesn't think that my low blood pressure is anything serious just something to keep monitoring like when I'm in Walmart to check it when I'm there on their little machine. He said if it continues to be low that we will have to do something about it. He did say he doesn't think it is my heart though thank God!! Heart problems run in my family so I was worried about that. He thinks it might be med related so I have talked with my neuro doc who prescribed the newest drug that entered the pic and I am to half my dosage and start taking a B Complex vitamin.

I guess this could explain why I am so freakin cold all the time and so tired all the time. But is there anything else I could be doing? OH my GP also said I'm to drink at least 1 electrolyte drink a day.
