EAT MORE SALT.
I had been on a self imposed salt restricted diet for years cause my endo had me soooo bloated... basically I salted my food, but ate no prepared foods and avoided bread and other things that are preseved with salt.
One day I went to the doc, and my BP was like, 80/50. It suddenly hit me and I switched my diet, within 24 hours I was feeling much better!!
give it a try. Avoiding salt is much overrated in the media. A few days can tell you how it works for you, and also just FYI, I mean just eat the daily level of around 2 grams -- not more than that.
good luck!
