One thing that lowers your blood pressure is usually fine. Several at once is when people get hurt. Get up slowly, drink water, wait a while after waking or eating, keep the water warm instead of hot, never lock the bathroom door, and keep help within reach. These habits don't remove every risk, but they lower the odds and help turn a dangerous moment into a manageable one. If you ever faint, tell your doctor.
