Low blood pressure (hypotension) is a very common disease with increasing prevalence. While many people worry about high blood pressure, hypotension does not attract a lot of attention even though it also poses several health risks.
Low blood pressure is a reading of 90/60 mmHg or less, or a decline of more than 20 mmHg from previous readings.
Different types of low blood pressure
Primary hypotension: people with special body constitution. They have blood pressure throughout their whole lifetime without any syndrome or complication. Only in cases of overexertion that they get tired quickly.
Secondary hypotension: normal blood pressure which gradually drops to a low level, often found in people with prolonged weakness, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, tuberculosis, infection, prolonged anemia, chronic hypothyroidism or hypocortisolism.
Low blood pressure is often found in people with malnutrition, weak constitution, women, and especially in patients of cardiovascular illnesses, obesity and diabetes. It is also caused by factors such as stress, polluted environment, overuse of toxic chemicals, etc. As such, it has become the “disease of the age”, affecting a high percentage of the population, with syndromes such as fatigue, light-headedness, dizziness, irritability, loss of concentration, nausea, or worse fainting.
Complications
The lower the blood pressure, the higher the chance of developing memory loss. It is linked with dementia caused by Alzheimer. People with continuous hypotension in two years have twice the likelihood of getting amnesia than normal. Extremely low blood pressure also causes high heartbeat, dizziness, fainting. It is also a cause of cerebrovascular accident. 30% of cerebral infarction cases and 25% of myocardial infarction cases are caused by this condition.
