Hypotension

Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is lower than normal. This can lead to symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and fatigue. It can be caused by factors such as dehydration, certain medications, or underlying health issues. While low blood pressure may not always be concerning, it can be problematic if it leads to inadequate blood flow to vital organs. Treatment varies depending on the cause and severity, and may include lifestyle changes or medications to help raise blood pressure to a healthy level.
