Low blood pressure (hypotension) is pressure so low it causes symptoms or signs due to the low flow of blood through the arteries and veins. When the flow of blood is too low to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidney, the organs do not function normally and may be permanently damaged.

Symptoms:

Blurred vision

Confusion

Vertigo

Fainting

Dizziness

Sleepiness

Weakness

Causes:

Advanced Diabetes

Anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic response)

Changes in heart rhythm (arrhythmia)

Dehydration

Fainting

Heart attack

Heart failure

Shock (caused by severe infection, stroke, anaphylaxis, heart attack or major trauma)
