Symptoms Of Low Blood Pressure 

The symptoms of low blood pressure are as bad as high blood pressure. It means that the blood supply to your brain, heart and all other vital organs is to too low and therefore probably insufficient. Low blood pressure can also cause dizziness and even collapse. If your blood pressure is lower than normal then you should consult a doctor.

It’s quite difficult sometimes to judge a “normal” blood pressure for a person because something normal for one person may well be “abnormal” for another. So it is important that if there is a suspicion someone’s blood pressure may be causing them a problem it is investigated very carefully as even small changes in their blood pressure may cause them adverse medical problems.

A classic text book blood pressure reading is normally about 120/80 mmHg. If you repeatedly feel faint and light headed during the day, it’s probably a good idea to check with your doctor as to whether you are suffering with low blood pressure or not.

For some people, low blood pressure can leave them feeling light headed, sluggish or headachy. Yet other people can walk around with a blood pressure so low they should be flat out, however they don’t experience any symptoms whatsoever. That can be similar to high blood pressure symptoms. They may only discover they have a low blood pressure when their blood pressure is checked for another reason.

You should also see your doctor if you lose consciousness when you stand, or if you feel repeatedly weak, light headed or constantly tired. Low blood pressure can be a sign in younger people of chronic fatigue syndrome. In older people it can be an indication of serious problems such as heart disease.

Women in their 40’s or younger, can find their blood pressure may drop below 90/60 mmHg during pregnancy, crash dieting or even during the hot weather. So it’s important that if they know they are prone to low blood pressure, they have it checked on a regular basis.

If a person is taking high blood pressure medication, it can sometimes cause the blood pressure to drop rapidly which causes the ame type of problems. Therefore those taking this type of medication should choose the time of day they take their medication very carefully to ensure the effects are kept to a minimum.
