3. Lowered Blood Pressure
Sudden instances of high or low blood pressure should mean immediate medical attention to find the cause. Blood pressure issues can be chronic and due to physical conditions or family history with physical conditions, or they can be of sudden-onset and related to other factors such as medication or underlying conditions.
Of these physical conditions, there are many that can cause this symptom. Some of them include malnutrition, anemia, heart conditions – although there are many others. Because of the wide variety of things that can cause lowered blood pressure, an appointment with a medical doctor or a trip to the emergency room is the first recommendations where blood pressure consistently measures low.
Low blood pressure carries its own symptoms including seeing “dots” in vision, the feeling of pins and needles or a rapid heart rate.
Temporary low blood pressure can be caused by other underlying physical conditions, including sepsis. Leaving it untreated can be dangerous.
