-The NIH has created no medical standards that define low blood pressure, or a range in which low blood pressure is considered dangerous. In 2004, the NIH issued [[http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/hypertension/phycard.pdf|blood pressure guidelines for clinical practice]]. While three levels of hypertension are listed, these guidelines do not single out any range of blood pressures as being low or abnormally low – only blood pressures below 120/80 are considered to be normal. +The NIH has created no medical standards that define low blood pressure, or a range in which low blood pressure is considered dangerous.

 <blockquote>We really don't consider blood pressure to be low unless the pressure will not support the person when (s)he goes from laying to sitting to standing. If (s)he can do that without blacking out, the pressure is fine.  <blockquote>We really don't consider blood pressure to be low unless the pressure will not support the person when (s)he goes from laying to sitting to standing.

-One such factor is the effect the widespread destruction of bacteria and human cells infected by bacteria can have on blood pressure.

   * **Eat adequate food and drink.** Patients who don't eat enough can end up with low blood sugar, which can make them feel dizzy or faint. Dehydration and not eating enough salt can have a similar affect. Try to keep blood sugar from getting too low by eating small frequent meals during the day instead of three large ones. Carry healthy snacks whenever hungry.    * **Eat adequate food and drink.** Patients who don't eat enough can end up with low blood sugar, which can make them feel dizzy or faint.

 Vertigo usually occurs as a result of a disorder in the vestibular system – that is, structures of the inner ear, the vestibular nerve, brainstem, and cerebellum. The vestibular system is responsible for integrating sensory stimuli and movement and for keeping objects in visual focus as the body moves. Vertigo usually occurs as a result of a disorder in the vestibular system – that is, structures of the inner ear, the vestibular nerve, brainstem, and cerebellum.

 Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo may be treated with meclizine (Antivert), an oral antiemetic that can be taken up to three times a day, or only as needed. Meclizine may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo may be treated with meclizine (Antivert), an oral antiemetic that can be taken up to three times a day, or only as needed.
