I too am prone to low blood pressure (cardiac drugs don't help) . I have a doc who I consider the best Cardiologist in the world. He said eat salt. That is all they will do in the hospital, give you a salien IV. It works great when needed. If I am dizzy when I stand up, we take my BP and if it is low, a salty snack or even a salt tablet solves the problem. Good luck with recovery. Most of us seem to fall apart a little at a time after 60.Many thanks for the thoughts but this one is already Way beyond any speedy recovery. The Original break was 18 May 2016(yes, 17 months ago) but because of a Bad diagnosis by the what was supposed to be a "Specialist" I was back on my feet Way too soon. I'm scheduled to go back on 10 November for the 3rd Surgery. The original break was diagnosed as a "no surgery required" which I thought was great. I fell because of Low Blood Pressure and they still haven't come up with a reason and I've fallen Twice more. Each time doing another bit of damage but their still 'practicing' and unfortunately I'm the one they're practicing on so the reason is still hiding.
