I wouldn't say I "suffer" from it. Truth is, it doesn't really bother me. Once in awhile I get light headed because of it but otherwise it's no big deal.

I used to have high blood pressure, like 145/120. Since losing weight, I've seen my blood pressure go as low as 90/57. Typically it's been around 100/70.

I would ask your doctor to do a full blood work up to be sure it's not a medical issue, and if it's not, just do as he says and accept it as normal for you.

I had borderline high blood pressure a few years and several pounds ago. Actually was on meds for a few years.

Now, my blood pressure can be similar to what you and Missy describe. Sometimes getting a little lightheaded/seeing the little black dots, etc when I stand up. I've discussed this a lot with my PCP. He always suggest its dehydration symptoms....drink, drink, drink I hear. And take it easy....Ha!

I will say I notice far less of this when I drink electrolytes, such as G2, Powerade Zero, etc.

yep sometimes it's a potassium issue.. You might try taking some potassium.. if you are not eating foods that contain it.. my blood pressure has improved so much since losing weight.. I was hypertensive before...

Yes...I was taking blood pressure meds for years before being banded, now after losing 70 lbs and exercising my blood pressure is 90/60. I feel great and have crazy energy!
