Low blood pressure

Low blood pressure

Low blood pressure (hypotension) is when the force of your blood against the inside walls of your arteries is lower than normal. This can cause lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting, especially while standing up.

When your blood pressure is lower than 90/60mmHg, it is considered low, because the pressure is inadequate to deliver enough blood to all the cells of the body.

It's symptoms include dizziness, lightheadedness, fast heart rate, nausea, fainting and blurred vision.
