Doctors describe low blood pressure as values below 90/60. Often, the potential for either high or low blood pressure increases with age. The poor blood flow to such organs as the heart and brain of elderly patients is said to cause a wide range of problems.

Consume a small amount of salt.
Hydrate by drinking adequate fluids.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.
Hydrate in case of a viral infection.
Exercising safely by stretching before standing and taking proper support in case of getting up from bed.
Other some other precautionary measures that may be taken into consideration follow:
Elevate the head of the bed.
Rest after meals
Limit exposure to hot water
Take small, frequent meals
Decrease carbohydrate intake
Limit heavy lifting, straining and standing around for long periods.
