Talk to your doctor first of all.  There are medications that he/she can put you on.  On top of that, eating regularly and healthy is the best bet.  Candy will raise your sugar level for short periods of time, but eating sandwiches and high-carb meals will keep your sugar at a healthy level.  Talk to you doctor first though.

First of all, get to a Dr. asap. Second, cut out the salt and most of the caffeine, and follow the diet the Dr. advises. Get exercise--walking is great. If the doc prescribes meds, TAKE THEM! If you are stressed, try to get some help to deal with it. Hypertension is called "the silent killer" because a person often does not know they are suffering from it. By the time you have a stroke or a heart attack it may be too late. With on going high blood pressure you need to be under a Dr's care. Monitor your blood pressure at home, but always keep in touch with your physician.

I would talk to your doctor first, but Iron supplent pills might help.... ALthough depending on your reason for the fast that may not be an option.

1)  Don't smoke or take tobacco products.  2)  Keep your blood pressure down to normal.  3)  If you are diabetic, control it extremely well.  A deficiency of chromium has been proven to cause some type II diabetes.  A supplement of 200 micrograms a day of chromium picolinate will remedy this.  4)  check your cholesterol, your good cholesterol (HDL) and the bad cholesterol (LDL).  You want to maximize the HDL and minimize the LDL.  Also, check the triglycerides, and minimize them.  If fat, you want to get the weight down and keep it down.  Regular exercise, even just walking a mile nonstop 3 times a week will help your cholesterol.  GET OFF ALL trans fats.  Trans fats are partially hydrogenated oils, contained in shortening, margarine, and many processed foods. Keep the total amount of fat in your diet fairly low.  Keep off all trans fats.  Next most important is to keep the saturated fats low.  Then the total fats low.  Don't eat junk food, which is food high in sugar, refined flour, and fat.  Eat lots of whole grain cereals and breads and pastas.  Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, and some lean meats and fish.  5) check your homocysteine level.  If high, take 2 mg of folic acid per day (3 of the big 800 microgram tablets).  6)  If you can't drink alcohol without drinking heavy, then abstain totally from alcohol.  Otherwise, take one or two glasses of dry red wine each evening.  7)  consider taking one adult aspirin per day to reduce blood clots, esp. if over 50 years old or strong family history.  8)  Get plenty of the essential (required in diet) omega 3 oil.  You can do this by eating 3 servings of cold water ocean fish per week, such as salmon, sardines, or white albacore tuna, etc.  or you can take 1-2 tablespoons of cold pressed flax seed oil daily, either added to cold cereal or salad or fruit or mixed into low fat cottage cheese (this is rec. by Dr. Johanna Budwig, the doc who has done extensive research on it.  the cottage cheese provides sulfur containing amino acids which complement the omega 3)  9)  Get plenty of all your vitamins and minerals.  If you eat well, this shouldn't be a problem.  It's hard to get too much vitamin C.  Dr. Linus Pauling, the Nobel winner, recommended 10-15 grams of vit C per day.  1 gm = 1000 mg.  Other important antioxidant vitamins are vit A and its precursor caratenoids, and vit E.  Coral calcium is a good natural source of calcium, as well as all the other minerals.  The bioflavenoids, such as those found in grape seed extract and in elderberry concentrate or wine seem to be important antioxidant vitamins.  10)  Don't get real stressed out!  The old expression about "something breaking your heart" has some truth in it.  11)  Keep your teeth and gums clean.  When you develop rotten teeth and gums, it may somehow spread inflammation to cholesterol placques.  We don't really know, but we do know that inflammation is part of the heart attack condition, of thrombosis of placques.  12) The monounsaturated oils, either olive oil, or canola oil, are considered to be your best oils for cooking, from an arterial standpoint.  I think real butter is better for you than margarine, since it doesn't have any trans fats, but go easy on it.

You ought to start exercising, this will improve your blood flow and give you more energy. Changing your diet and eating healthier foods should help also.

You should drink lots of water to make up for the lost fluids. Avoid alcohol.\n\nGet lots of rest and avoid strenuous exercise for a while.\n\nOne of the possible effects of losing lots of blood is that you become anaemic. To help with this eat foods that are high in iron: red meat, dried fruit and leafy green vegetables are good. Whenever he gives blood, my husband always eats black pudding (blood sausage) for breakfast the following day (I'm vegetarian, so I don't). Stout (e.g. Guinness) is also supposed to be full of iron (it used to be prescribed for pregnant women who were anaemic) but it is alcoholic.\n\nIf you have lost a huge amount of blood you should see a doctor - you might need to have a blood transfusion to replace it, and you need to have treatment for whatever caused you to loose so much blood.

It's due to poor circulation.  My doctor prescribed a diuretic for it, and advised me to drink a lot of water, and walk around as much as I can tolerate.  It's getting better.

I am also diabetic, tightly controlled, and have been for 16 years. I find that the only meds that raise my bloodsugar are steroids (and they DRASTICALLY raise it), amphetamines (like in pseudophed and other decongestants), and antibiotics. I find that amphetamines and antibiotics only raise it a little, but that steroids push it 200 and 300 points upwards and I have to bolus often and raise my basal rate by a full unit each hour. Yeah, I'm a pump user and I love it!

One thing that works is I take caffeine and aspirin.  If I have to keep busy, I will take an aspirin and drink a diet dr pepper.  it gets the boold flowing.  I also try to keep my imitrix nearby.  Good stuff that.

try putting a very samlll piece of ginseng in your mouth. That's what i do. it keeps you awake. you can also try going to the chinese medical hall to get some soup that keeps yu awake,  there are some soup that makes you energise and awake. The best thing is that it's alot more cheaper than ginsengs. But i must warn you that too much of it will be a disater. Another way is instead of coffee, why don't drink tea.. i don't mean thosein mc donal but those in shops form china or korea. Some helps your blood circulate better and i believe why you are so tire is because your blood is not circulatring well.\nyou can also go to the sin say... chineses doctors who can do come accupunctual. It will help your blood circulate better. It's alos very effective

Hi there.. I'm a Licenced Dietetic Technician. The answer to your question....Anemia is a concern that can be fixed. Anemia is a condition in which the iron count in your blood is low meaning you have a hard time transmitting oxygen in the blood to other body parts. An easy solution is to take a simle daily supplement of 18mg/daily for 2 weeks. Then have your HGB and HCT checked again to see if the Anemia has improved. Make sure you also take a Vit C supplement with the Iron to help absorb the iron. Hope this helped. Your should have more energy because you'll have more oxygen flowing through your blood! Good luck and if you have anymore health questions feel free to ask. -Elizabeth Segler DTR/LDT

There are other ways to control low blood sugar. Coffee (I know, I love it too but..) isn't all that good for you any way. It may help with the low blood sugar but it will also dehydrate you. The best thing for that girl is to get up earlier and take the time to have a healthy breakfast.

Eat less for your next meal. Exercise might help, but there are times when this has the reverse effect, such as when sugar levels are very high. Talk to your doctor.

I also suffer from low blood pressue - lower than yrs actually.\n\nDo u have any sypmtoms of low blood pressure: dizziness, constant tiredness?  If not, then yr current blodd pressure should be fine.\n\nNormal is 120/80.  If u had to choose, low blood pressure wud be better to have than high blood pressure, which brings with it damage to coronary arteries, other arteries and subsequent heart disease.\n\nIf u do have symptoms of low blood pressue(mentioned above) u should visit yr doctor.  There are medicines u can take, but simply adding a LITTLE salt to yr diet will help.\n\nSalt helps u retain fluid, thus increasing blood volume and thereby increasing blood pressure.\n\nExcercise also helps increase blood pressure, and keeps yr arteries and heart in good shape!\n\nIf u decide to donate blood, inform the nurse/doctor present that u have low BP.

I have the same issue & my dr told me to take in more B-12, eat smaller meals throughout the day, take time out for myself to relax because stress also can contribute to this & MANY other problems. Sine taking the vitamin B-12 alone which I buy all natural kind it brought up my white blood count to right where it should be.  This may sound weird too but if you have bowel issues & sometimes bleed, that also can lower the white count which also happened to me so eat more fiber. Good luck.
