What, besides meds, can help?

I don’t have any diagnosis right now but have had health issues for a long time. Recently things have been getting worse with the dizziness, heart palpitations, brain fog, etc. My blood pressure has run low (90/60s) for years but when I went to the doctor last week it was 80/50. She wants me on a bp medication and I do not want to. I hate medication (it also feeds into my ocd). I drink lmnt daily and add salt to all my meals. Is there anything else that people have found helpful? It’s also just hard to take another med when I don’t know what’s actually causing it.
My doc ordered an echo but the waitlist is forever long. She also considered a heart monitor. Has anyone gotten any answers from that? I know if this continues, a tilt table test will probably be in my future.
I also have a ton of gi issues (gastritis, slow motility) and don’t know where to go from here

Basically what the title says. I’m planning to drive up to north shore tomorrow and would love to see some turtles! What beach is recommended? Also any other north shore suggestions? Food, matcha, hikes, etc?

I have two more full days on Oahu and I need ideas for what to do! I love hiking and good matcha for some ideas. My plan is to go to ho omaluhia botanical garden tomorrow but don’t know how much time that takes up? I’m a solo female and my hotel is in Honolulu. I’m down to drive anywhere on the island!
