i have had low blood pressure all of my life. i am not overweight, i enjoy exercising and know that sport can help raise my blood pressure. i have, what i can only describe as brain fog and lethargy. i am often dizzy and have fainted a few times. i also have migraine attacks and as i get older, it has got worse(am now 47). when i was pregnant i had the opposite and my blood pressure was very high. the side effect from this however was that i felt really brain fit. i had no problem with my memory and i could think clearly. i take anti-depressants from time to time but i take them to help me with my lethargy and as i don't like many of the side effects, i try not to take them for more than periods of 6 months........ i have never felt depressed or suicidal. could there be a connection between my low blood pressure, brain fog and lethargy. my heart makes extra beats when i am laying down and the heart doctor said this is probably because my blood pressure is too low. i am not an athelete but my basic fitness level is good and apart from dizzyness, i tray daily to be active.
