subject: Low Blood Pressure Treatment [print this page] Blood Pressure is a pressure of blood against the walls of a blood vessel or heart chamber. The measurement of the pressure or force inside the blood vessels (arteries) with each beat of the heart. Blood pressure is written as two numbers; the first number, the systolic pressure, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and fills the arteries with blood. People with diabetes should aim for a blood pressure of 130 / 80 or lower. High blood pressure (hypertension) can cause health problems such as heart attacks, strokes and kidney problems. Blood pressure 120/80 mm Hg. If blood pressure is above 140/90 mm Hg, it is considered to be a high blood pressure. Low blood pressure (hypotension) is pressure that is so low that 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.
Low blood pressure can result from one or more of many different causes including:
- emotional stress, fear, or pain (these are the most common causes of fainting);
- dehydration, which reduces blood volume;
- your body's reaction to heat, which is to shunt blood into the vessels of the skin, leading to dehydration;
- blood donation which reduces your blood volume;
- internal bleeding, such as a perforated stomach ulcer;
- severe blood loss from trauma, such as a road accident or deep cut;
- pregnancy;
- some medications for high blood pressure which lower blood pressure too far;
- diuretics, which produce fluid loss and these can lead to loss of blood volume;
- some medications for depression;
- some medications for certain heart conditions;
- allergic reaction to certain drugs or chemicals;
- some forms of infection, such as toxic shock syndrome.
- heart disease, which can affect the pumping action of the heart muscle;
- some nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's disease;
- Addison's disease in which the adrenal glands fail to produce sufficient hormones critical to maintaining blood pressure.
