Foods to eat?
Hey all, so in addition to vestibular migraines, I also have pretty low blood pressure. They think it’s orthotic hypotension but cardiology refused my referral. I was told more salt intake, and one electrolyte drink per day. I found eating regular meals helps, extra salt, and caffeine.
Unfortunately all the above seem to trigger vertigo and vestibular migraine attacks. Sometime the vertigo is so severe I have to stop whatever I’m doing and just sit wherever I am until the spinning stops. Or it makes my headache a lot worse.
I feel like I can’t win. I’ve been getting by on grilled cheeses or other sandwiches for supper. And lunch. As well as scrambled eggs with cheese and ham and hash browns for breakfast. And decaf coffee. Plus one Powerade every day or two. While the VM seems to be less severe, the blood pressure has been lower. This making my head feel funny, making me super dizzy, and causing me to fall or feel very faint a lot.
It’s frustrating.
