There is no diet for low blood pressure and it will not go back to 'normal'. Some people who have lightness in their head from low blood pressure do not decrease the salt content from their diet, which can help the lightness. You need to know your blood pressure reading so you know when it does go high, for you, because it maybe read as normal by a healthcare provider. Thank you for your question.

Hi jan972,

You can lead a normal and healthy life. Adequate intake of protein, Vitamin B and Vitamin C is vital for the patient with low blood pressure. Pantothenic acid is particularly very beneficial in the treatment and prevention of low blood pressure. Sufficient intake of all these vitamins helps in raising the blood pressure for sure. So it is mandatory to add foods rich in all important nutrients that help in raising your blood pressure.
It is very important to drink more water and avoid the consumption of alcohol and try to restrict the intake of foods rich in carbohydrate to prevent low blood pressure.
Apart from all these, periodic health checks are mandatory to maintain normal blood pressure.
