Low Blood Pressure
What is low blood pressure? What causes it? What is a
typical low blood pressure symptom? And maybe most important of
all, what is a typical course of low blood pressure
treatment?
Low blood pressure is a problem with many people. It is
difficult to define exactly what is considered low blood
pressure because what is normal for one healthy person may be
too low for another person.
Some people do have underlying causes for low blood pressure
which can be a problem. This type of low blood pressure usually
drops when the person stands up and may cause certain
uncomfortable or dangerous symptoms. Low blood pressure is also
called hypotension.
Spotting a low blood pressure symptom
Some symptoms or problems that are associated with low
pressure are dizziness and fainting, especially when moving
from sitting to standing. This is due to the fact that blood
does not properly flow through the body because of the low
blood pressure. Low blood pressure can also lead to heart
problems or even shock which can result in death. None of the
organs in the body will work properly without oxygen that comes
from the blood so prolonged low blood pressure can damage these
organs.
Occasionally someone will think they may have low blood
pressure if they stand up quickly from a sitting position and
get dizzy. Low blood pressure is, in fact, in play here, but
this dizziness is not a symptom of low blood pressure. This is
known as "orthostatic" hypotension, and it often happens
quickly when a person changes body positions and the
circulatory system can't "keep up" with the sudden
movement.
Orthostatic hypotension, which is also known as postural
hypotension, is a temporary condition and is not a long term
threat to health.
Low blood pressure treatment
Low blood pressure is treated by discovering the cause and
treating the cause. Low blood pressure may be caused by
dehydration, inflammation of the organs, heart disease,
bleeding (moderate and severe), irregular heartbeat, certain
medications and more. If you have low blood pressure, talk with
your doctor immediately about how to get it to a healthy range.
The longer your blood pressure is too low, the more damage it
can be doing.
There are a number of other keyword terms and phrases
