Do you take any aspirin or ibuprofen? Both are blood thinners and can make it so blood flows through the brain easier. Even low dose aspirin may be worthwhile. Enteric aspirin does not dissolve in the stomach so it is less upsetting.
I take 2 975 mg doses of enteric aspirin each day for arthritis (am and pm). It also keep my blood very thin.

My BP is always low, normal but haven't had it checked while I'm walking. I'm not on aspirin or ibuprofen. I see a neurologist again Monday. I'll see what he says. Thanks. My head hurts frequently at rest, always worse with exertion. I think that's what causes my increased heart rate. My heart rate jumps up simply in response to a loud noise, dog bark, siren, generator kicking on.
