If it's low blood pressure, there's much less of a chance that you'll have a stroke or a heart attack (which is great news for me because I'm a fiend for all the wrong foods)

A trick to get low bp back up is to drink a few swallows of real Coca Cola (not diet and not an off brand). The dialysis nurses used that all the time on my dad.
