1. London-based disc… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name...
1. London-based disc jockeys Justin Langlands and Dave Henley first met in 1986, at the peak of the house scene. Under the moniker Blood Brothers they became stalwarts of the genre. Pressure Drop was born with the singles Feeling Good (Big World, 1990), Back To Back (Big World, 1990), Trancefusion (Big World, 1990).
The style changed with the album Upset (Boombastic, 1992), one of the precursors of trip-hop, the praxis (guest singers, guest rappers, guest horn sections) if not the sound (You're Mine).
The singles Everything'll Be Alright Tomorrow, Big Noise and Unify led to Front Row (Marlboro, 1993), a much more subdued statement of work.
The Eps Tearing The Silence (Hard Hands, 1995) and Up Against The Wall (Wall Of Sound, 1995) were more daring with their dark and jazzy backgrounds.
The album Dusk (Cafe Del Mar, 1996)
A platoon of friends plays saxophone, flute, trumpet, harmonica, clarinet on Elusive (Hard Hands, 1997). Unfortunately the choice of singers (Anita Jarrett, Constantine Wier and Martin Fishley) is not the best. My Friend, Got To Be For Real , Silently Bad Minded expertly mix dub, exotica, bebop and Ennio Morricone.

How do you deal with low blood pressure?
@inna8595
Water and lying down help me. Then I drink coffee or tea.
@Paramedstore
@Inna Good way 👍
@Scraggledust
So far, the fastest relief I get, is from drinking pedialyte; even though I also drink 96oz of water (minimum) I still suffer. I usually also do deep breathing to try and help the insane shaking and feeling like at any moment I’m gonna hit the floor hard. It typically takes about 30-45 mins to recover though.
@yoshi658
I gave my dad salty water and he recovered quickly

Does taking 1 325mg Bayer aspirin raise blood pressure or lower it?
@susanwalline993
I am being treated for heart failure with low blood pressure at age 69. I have had low blood pressure all my life. I am, however, being prescribed one high blood pressure medication after another, as I am having a terrible time tolerating them, and feel horrible. I am told it will "protect my heart" but seems to me to make things worse.
@Paramedstore
Talk about your thoughts with your doctor. He or she may be able to explain in more detail why you are being prescribed these medications. Doctors prescribe medications, understanding their side effects. But very often the side effects of taking certain medications are worse than not taking those medications. High blood pressure for a hypotensive person is even worse than for a person with normal pressure. Therefore, perhaps, after assessing the risks, you were prescribed medication for hypertension. In any case, be sure to contact your doctor if your blood pressure drops sharply or very frequently. We wish you good health!

Good advice….however, just wanted to say that when you have a spinal cord injury…..low blood pressure is unfortunately, a side symptom…wish they had warned me of that while in the hospital, so I could have known what to do, to deal with it. Fortunately, mine SHOULD correct itself, in time…but only time itself will tell. I have found though that increasing your sodium intake (that would be where the pretzels come in) helps a lot…especially since I wasn’t getting enough sodium in my diet…a vital nutrient we need to function properly. Too little is just as bad as having too much!
@Paramedstore
You are absolutely right!
I'm sorry you are experiencing these issues. Get well soon! We wish you good health!
