I need to increase mine because of my kidney disease,it is stage 2. Most people do not know but there are 30 kinds of kidney disease and yours can work 90% and still have problems,mine is 70%. I read a while a go that a person with kidney disease will use more potassium,salt & sugar during exercise then people who have no kidney disease and this will cause blood pressure to drop too much. Mine today after exercise was 86/55,way too low,also the bottom number on blood pressure is not suppose to drop,only the top number. Mine always drop,top and bottom. It said for kidney disease to drink a bottle of gatorade when you exercise at the gym and see if it is O.K. before and after. I am O.K. with walking & drinking water,but any strain becomes a problem. I get my blood pressure checked at my gym before and after we exercise, so I will try this 3 times and see,it worked before! I will pay more attention to increasing my Potassium foods also.
