Hypotension
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hypotension is blood pressure that is lower than usual. In many people it causes no discomfort, but in others it may be accompanied by symptoms worth knowing about.
Frequent symptoms: When it does show up, dizziness, a feeling of fainting when standing up, weakness, blurred vision or fatigue may appear.
Common causes: It may be related to dehydration, sudden changes in posture, prolonged fasting or other health conditions.
When is a review worthwhile? If dizziness or fainting is frequent or intense, it is worth evaluating. The cardiologist studies the circulatory system and the internist or the family physician offer a comprehensive evaluation. Discussing these symptoms with a professional helps identify the cause and care for your well-being.
