Low blood pressure is something many people want to have, but some people can have blood pressure that is too low. Blood pressure that is too low can cause symptoms like dizziness and fainting, and it can even be fatal. Abnormally blood pressure can be caused by dehydration or a number of medical problems. Signs and symptoms of low blood pressure include blurred vision, nausea, fatigue, inability to concentrate, fainting, and lightheadedness or dizziness.

Extremely low blood pressure can cause clammy, cold, pallid skin, a weak pulse, and rapid breathing. Even occasional symptoms associated with low blood pressure can be a cause for concern.

There are many kinds of hypotension. Some people have chronic hypotension, also called chronic asymptomatic hypotension. They oftentimes don’t have any symptoms, and they rarely need treatment. Low blood is just the norm for them. Another type of hypotension is when blood pressure drops very suddenly.

Those signs and symptoms can be either mild or severe. The three variants of this type of hypotension are orthostatic, neutrally mediated, and a very severe form of hypotension called hypotension from shock. So, when you talk to your cardiologist, ask them what kind of hypotension you have. You probably don’t have the last one, because it is caused by a very specific event. For example, hypotension associated with shock can occur from rapid blood loss, certain serious infections, severe allergic reactions or burns, and poison. Shock can be deadly if it’s not treated right away.
