low blood pressure

+1 for electrolytes. Hydration is obviously the key but too much water will only make it worse. We are the lucky few who don't have to worry about sodium intake. My BP runs 80-90's/40-50's. Freaks my co-workers out. I have to increase my sodium intake in the summer and before long rides. Orthostatic hypotension is a daily thing for me. I've learned to switch positions slowly and I cannot ride if it is near 90 or above because then I just get dizzy no matter what my position. There are medications you can take. Your doctor may want to do a "tilt-table" test to determine if you need them.

My BP runs about 90/60...and I only get the dizzy spells in the summer when I am dehydrated from training. That is probably the connection.

So I was at the doctor yesterday for my migraines...
I had 4 espressos in the morning, a large energy beverage at 10am, and a diet dr pepper around 1pm.

My pulse was 60 and my bp was 104/70. I feel out of shape!
