Hi,
I have been on WW for about 9 months and have lost about 65 pounds.

The last couple of months I have been plateauing and my blood pressure
is ridiculously low.  I went to the doctor and to a cardiologist and
everything is normal... no physical problems, aside from the low bp.
I get really lightheaded and swoony, especially with exercise.  I
really love the gym and typically do about an hour of cardio and an
hour of weight training 3 or 4 times a week.  But lately, after an
hour on the elliptical, my bp is actually dropping.  Last time it was
about 103 over 45.  Which sounds fabulous, but sucks when you are
almost unconscious at the time.  Sometimes it happens after 2 minutes,
sometimes after 45.

Additionally, I am wondering if it may explain my plateau.  Is bp
related to metabolism?

As far as I am concerned, restricting activity is not an option.  I am
only 36 and in excellent health.  I drink about 4 litres of water a
day and am not restricting my salt intake.  I have had blood tests out
the wazoo and do not have problems with my glands, blood sugar or
other blood chemistry.

My doctor tells me that she could give me medication to jack up my bp,
but that the health risks associated with doing that are not worth the
benefit.  I would love to eat more salt, but all the salty snacks I
can think of are not exactly points friendly... and the thought of
just licking a salt-block makes me fairly nauseated.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrea
