low blood pressure

I was told to eat more salt and red meat for my first pregnancy when I had low blood pressure. This time my blood pressure is even lower making me pass out if I stand up for too long. Does anyone know of any other remedies for this? I still have morning sickness so I can't handle eating too much meat. :(

I had that with my 1st pregnancy. It's really nothing to worry abt. Just when u feel dizzy eat some sugary so u feel better. N try to eat healthy. Now when I delivered. My low pressure was so low that they had to keep me up. My husband would slap me lol. The doc said if it was any lower they would not b able to give me an epidural.
