Review on Copper Compression Socks (8 Pairs) – Ideal for Enhanced Circulation during Running, Hiking, Cycling, Travel, Pregnancy - Women & Men by Michael Vargas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Spacious cut, high quality and possible salvation for people with low blood pressure

I have lifelong low blood pressure which leads to chronic fainting as I age. One of my doctors suggested using a support tube and I bought a few and they work remarkably well, boosting my energy and greatly reducing the almost constant dizziness. The problem is that I hate them - they are so difficult to put on and take off that sometimes it takes five minutes. They have no toes (turns out they're for people who sweat a lot, which I don't) and look like a medical device. They are completely different. They look decent (I bought the motley pattern), slip on just as easily as other socks, and fit well. I have long legs (5ft 9in) and wear size 9 shoes. I am of average weight (ideal BMI according to doctor). The foot is a little longer but I straighten it and it's fine. reach to the knee, which for me is unusual for knee socks. They don't jam or slip. I bought a large size. If you are smaller, you need a smaller size. worn synthetic fibers and they are not as beautiful and comfortable as natural fibers but their function requires them to be synthetic. In terms of customer service, they arrived the day after I ordered them and were nicely packaged. If I had known that earlier, I could have been more athletic instead of feeling weak all the time. People with low blood pressure have been shown to die from a simple blood draw. We are much more prone to sunstroke and heat stroke. Low blood pressure runs in my family and six family members I know have had sunstroke. Two died from it, and the third almost died. However, none of the doctors I interviewed knew of the connection between the two (I found it out myself and then confirmed it). Please take this seriously, stop telling us we're "lucky" and come up with some solutions for us. We know we need to stay hydrated and use extra salt. That is not enough. These socks help!
