I too used to suffer from blackouts due to low blood pressure, not any longer, as I always carry with me in small packets, mix of a pinch of salt+sugar. The moment I have it, then pressure builds up, and everythings fine.Dependable, portable & easy to use.
By the way, in Homoepathic system of medecine, the combination is made from Salt+sugar.
The rehyderating packs too contain salt+sugar, only glucose is added. For this you need water, a tumbler and spoon.

A cold compress will help contract the blood vessels that are causing the pain.
A "low pressure" headache is from not having enough spinal fluid. This happens after you have had a lumbar puncture/spinal tap to check for certain things like meningitis. The hole sometimes doesn't close up all the way and you slowly leak spinal fluid from that hole.
The "low pressure" headache is usally slightly relieved by lying flat.
If you had a lumbar puncture and are suffering from a "low pressure" headache,.how long have you had it? If it's been more than 5-7 days, you should see a neurologist who will probably send you to get a "blood patch". An outpatient procedure where an anasthesiologist draws blood from your arm and injects it into your lower spine. It forms a clot over the hole from the spinal tap, you make more spinal fluid in the next 48 hours and voila! you're all better. Unfortunately, you now have the backache from hell. But that will go away after a while and you can treat it with heating pads and narcotic pain relievers.
