Been very depressed lately have been having low blood pressure to the point where I'm passing out today it was 70/50 my primary doctor is saying it's because I'm not taking in enough calories!

Went to my endocrinologist today about my bp being so low he gave me good news and bad good news my calorie intake has nothing to do with my bp and calorie intake! Bad news he said its possible that my blood vessels in my legs leading up to my heart may not be circulating right so I have to see a cardiologist I have an emergency appointment Wednesday will keep everyone posted and I thank everyone for your response

Glad your getting medical care! Good luck and let us know. :)

I was really sick a few years ago. I just got to where I didn't hardly eat. I would go a day or 2 with nothing but diet dr pepper. I want to follow up and my doctor took blood work. the nurse called me in a couple of days, although I weigh 230 pounds she said my blood work showed like an anorexic! There's something and I don't know what in your blood that shows if you're malnourished! She had me at an eighth of a teaspoon of salt to each bottle of water and had me get some ensure until I could eat healthier
