I now decided to...

... temporarily stop drinking lemon water. Maybe this is one reason why I feel weak, why my BP is low, and I have difficult breathing especially at night. I will stick to taking the half-tablet of diuretic drug that my doctor prescribed to me.
That was one reason he told me: I will have difficult breathing if I don't continue with the drug; even though I told him I take the lemon water detoxifying drink.
I am taking the appetite stimulant that my doctor prescribed me. I hope my weight will eventually increase because I have a very voracious appetite now.

@ridingbet You should wear compression stockings to help pump blood from the legs and (you surely know) eat some salty food.

@ridingbet My husband has very low blood pressure, the doctor told him to chew a piece of (real) licorice, it increases the BP almost immediately.

@LadyDuck my salt intake is regulated. although taking salty foods do increase the blood pressure, i believe i should not overdo that because it might cause me more harm than good.

maybe you can still drink it but half of the volume you used to?

i have no more fresh lemon fruits. maybe when our laundrywoman leaves to the market, i might tell her to buy me half a kilo of lemons.

yes, even though i am a nurse, my body acts and reacts accordingly. like when i had low BP, i was light-headed and had dizziness, and always yawning.

But stick to eating healthy with your voracious appetite. Eating junk to gain weight is not the right way. And follow the doctor.
