As if I don't have enough health problems already, I get postural hypotension. Bascially whenever I get up from a sitting or lying down position, I get lightheaded and even black out sometimes. Usually they're followed by debilitating headaches that last for hours.
I've decided that I need to be drinking more water during the day. I don't take in enough fluids, and that could be decreasing my blood volume, making my blood pressure drop. Once my roommate empties her half gallon milk jug in the fridge, I'm going to rinse it and use it as my water bottle for during the day. I'll mark the levels for each cup of water. This will make it SO much easier to keep track of how much water I take in in a day. I tend to forget how many glasses I drink when I refill them!
