Devices for low BP


Recommended Posts

One of my cardiologists recommended a non-pneumatic anti-shock garment, and I just found something about a respiratory impedance device like the Resqgard.
 

I can’t find the garment in small, and I haven’t gotten an answer about how it would be when I removed it (I know, bad). The impedance device was mentioned in a paper by Dr. Raj. I love the idea of having something on hand that I could use in an emergency when I’m alone - no IV option in that case. But maybe one of these could also help me to feel better in general.

The Resqgard looks interesting. I did read that it can increase systolic and diastolic pressures by 30%. I could see using one from time to time. 

Yeah, wouldn’t it be nice as a quick fix? I’ve never seen it mentioned except in this old article. We’ll see what the doctor says about it. I’m sure it’s Rx only.
