Thank you for all the great suggestions. After my incident, I had numerous tests and even wore a heart monitor to make sure there was not anything else wrong that caused me to pass out. My body does not hold sodium and I am trying to incorporate extra sodium into my diet. I have tried almost all the suggestions and it has raised my BP slightly. I had not heard of the licorice root extract and plan of giving it a try. I am not fond of licorice, but am willing to try just about anything. Most of the time I can tell when I am about to pass out. The last time was in the middle of the night and I was not paying attention to the warning signs.
Again, thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and shared their personal stories. My goal is to increase my BP naturally and not use any medications.
