6 Things You Didn’t Know About Hypotension

Most people have heard of hypertension, which is another name for high blood pressure. However, another condition that some people suffer from is hypotension, which is low blood pressure. A person who has a blood pressure that is below 90/60 is considered to have low blood pressure.

The risk of developing low or high blood pressure typically increases with age. This is mainly from the changes that take place inside the body as we get older. Some people who experience low blood pressure do not have any symptoms, others may experience blurred vision, fainting episodes, lightheadedness or dizziness, lack of concentration, and fatigue.

While most people know the risks of hypertension, many do not realize that hypotension can cause just as many issues. When blood pressure is normal the heart is not stressed and is working the way that it should. When the pressure becomes too high or too low it can cause a strain on the heart, which can lead to different health issues.

1. Hypotension Symptoms

As mentioned, there are many people who suffer from low blood pressure who do not experience any symptoms at all. However, there are some common symptoms of low blood pressure that you should know about and if you are suffering from any of them you may want to check your blood pressure to see if it is low. The symptoms of low blood pressure may include but are not limited to, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, weakness, fainting, trouble concentrating, and fainting. Some of these symptoms may be associated with other diseases or conditions as well, so it is important to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.
