... to ask people with low blood pressure (not pregnancy-related) how they deal with it?

Posting here for traffic (and out of desperation).

I have fairly low blood pressure - most of the time it's 9-6, although sometimes it drops to 8-5 or even (one horrible time) 7-4.

I have taken a whole battery of tests, and there's nothing wrong with me - no anaemia, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, nothing. Apparently it's just a genetic thing and there's nothing the doctors can do (or are willing to do) about it.

I'm SO tired and lethargic all the time, even though I get enough sleep and rest and eat well and exercise and take salt and hydrate and so on. I feel like the dormouse in Alice's tea party most of the time.

So I was wondering whether any fellow sufferers have found any good coping strategies to deal with this. I realise it's not a serious health problem, thank goodness, but it's making my life shit.
