Hi there,
When I read your post, the first thing that came to my mind is orthostatic hypotension. It's fancy word for saying that your blood pressure drops when you bend forward, standing up from a sitting position. When your BP drops, your heart has to compensate and that's why we get heart palpitations. Your chest can even hurt and you can feel short of breath during this time. Do you often feel dizzy?
I struggle with this. I had to learn to live with it and make small changes to the way I do things. My BP is normally 90/60 and when it drops, I am sure it goes to 60's. The first figure is your systolic, which measures the pressure in your blood vessels and when your heart beats. The second is diastolic, that measures the number of beats. That's why it will be fast and irregular when it is low.
A good BP 120/80. Do you know what your BP is? a good salt diet will increase your BP and you will feel heaps better!
I hope it was helpful.
Let me know how you go.
