Answer:
Hypotension is low blood pressure.[1] Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood.[2] Blood pressure is indicated by two numbers, the systolic blood pressure (the top number) and the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), which are the maximum and minimum blood pressures, respectively.[3] A systolic blood pressure of less than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or diastolic of less than 60 mm Hg is generally considered to be hypotension.[4][5] Different numbers apply to children.[6] However, in practice, blood pressure is considered too low only if noticeable symptoms are present.[7]
Explanation:
the reasons are :
- Low blood pressure can be caused by low blood volume,[8] hormonal changes,[9] widening of blood vessels, medicine side effects,[10] anemia,[11] heart problems[12] or endocrine problems.[13]
- Reduced blood volume, hypovolemia, is the most common cause of hypotension.[24] This can result from hemorrhage; insufficient fluid intake, as in starvation; or excessive fluid losses from diarrhea or vomiting. Hypovolemia can be induced by excessive use of diuretics.[14] Low blood pressure may also be attributed to heat stroke which can be indicated by absence of perspiration, light headedness and dark colored urine.[25]
- Other medications can produce hypotension by different mechanisms. Chronic use of alpha blockers or beta blockers can lead to hypotension.[14] Beta blockers can cause hypotension both by slowing the heart rate and by decreasing the pumping ability of the heart muscle.[14]
