Re: low BP & chronic sleepiness

[Guest guest]

I've never heard any doctors mention that L's bp is particularly low, but might

be something to ask about. My dad also has very low bp, to the point where I

have seen him eat plain salt because he is feeling " woozy. " And that's in

addition to the thick coating he always puts on everything at the dinner table

before even tasting. He's a " night person, " like me (hmmm, apple falling near

the tree?) but as far as I know does not have problems with daytime sleepiness.
