As in the above example you have ?low blood pressure? but in this instance it is not normal for you to have readings this low. You may need to see your doctor for tests because it?s quite likely that some other disease or perhaps a medication has caused your blood pressure to drop. Someone who develops low blood pressure like this will often experience symptoms such as those listed below.
The symptoms of an abnormally low blood pressure can include:
Feeling light headed, feeling dizzy, being tired or feeling fatigue on exertion, fainting, transient blurring of vision, or transient confusion. All of these low blood pressure symptoms will resolve if the blood pressure returns to normal.
The following are among the many possible causes of low blood pressure when it is abnormally low:
Medications for anxiety, medications for blood pressure, heart medications, diuretics or ?water tablets? and some anti-depressant medications. Other medication related causes are painkillers and alcohol ? particularly if these two are mixed together!
Non medication causes of include dehydration, heart disease and heart valve disease, recent heart attack, changes in heart rhythm, bacterial infection in the system, kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus and haemorrhage or bleeding.
As you can see, the above list of the causes of low blood pressure is extensive and you should consult with your doctor if you are concerned in any way.
