Hello,

First of all, before suggesting anything, I would like your brother to measure his blood pressure. You should regularly monitor his bp. Getting headache every 3 days can be due to Migraine. I would suggest that you consult with a physician immediately and get him checked.

Here are some home remedies for Low Blood Pressure:

• Drink a lot of water (at least 2 liters) as dehydration can lead to low blood pressure
• Add little more salt to your meals
• Drink a glass of lemon juice (lemon, salt, sugar) whenever you feel giddy
• Eat lots of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables daily
• At bedtime, drink a glass of lukewarm milk with a tsp of turmeric powder added to it
• Increase your protein intake to enhance your overall immunity
• Eat raisins, almonds, walnuts in the morning
• Drink carrot juice/beetroot juice/pomegranate juice

Perform Yogasans such as Pranayams – kripal bharti, Brahmari, Shirsasan, shavasan, sarvangasan, etc on a daily basis in order to treat low bp as well as migraine attacks. Light form of exercise should be included in your daily routine.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks!
