?Hypotension?

 

My sister, age 51, keeps getting periods of very low blood pressure (ie: 72/66).  Her cardiologists tell her they can't find the problem, and her doctor prescribes her steroids which she refuses to take.  Anyone have any thoughts on causes or natural solutions? She is overweight, she drinks a lot of water and uses a lot of salt. 
 
My sister is making an appointment to see a doctor who specializes in "dysautonomia", a disease of the autonomic nervous system.  It seems like a catch-all term for a number of symptoms.  They don't know what causes it, and there is no cure for it, and I guess treatment consists of drugs.  Anyone have any experience with this and know of any natural treatments?

Note my comments here
 
I could have checked other things on the list this young woman is dealing with, but I thought those were the most 'stand out' harm.
 
THE FATIGUE must be an autoimmune issue
 
 
Overweight?  Maybe one of the autoimmune metabolic issues - Not Your Fault
 
What I shared with Don - I  think NHL and AIHA (fatigue doctors are looking for in CFS, FM, CFIDS) go together ... and so do abnormalities in things that the hypothalamus would control.  Look what a match they are with the CFS groups' symptoms!
 
Helps for autoimmune issues (as usually you just hear about immune suppressant things and pain meds) ... would be glyconutrient food supplements:
 
The theory is that if you give your body what it needs to function properly, it heals itself ... a food, not a drug  Some helps & other thoughts
 
AND - a doctor sharing about them to doctors

MIT Technology Review listed Glycomics, the science behind glyconutrients,

as one of the "10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World."

I write these web pages to share my ideas, nothing more.

Some people here think I've said enough, and have told me so ... 

but I cannot say less than I believe is true
