what causes low blood pressure?

Question

I have low blood pressure what causes what can i do to help it go normal

Answer 1

low blood pressure although a nuisance (and can cause fainting) is not a dangerous medical problem - much better than high!!!

develop you leg muscles well and when you stand up always pump your legs hard - this will prevent the dizziness

apart for than dont worry - low blood pressure is associated with a long life!

Answer 2

I can't think of a reason why high blood sugar would cause low blood pressure, but they might have a mutual cause. For example, dehydration can lower blood pressure and raise blood sugar. An illness can do both, too. Have you been sick? Also, have you been diagnosed diabetic? That's a firmly diabetic reading, if accurate. Unless you're on a medication, like a steroid, there's no reason why a non-diabetic should ever be that high.

Answer 3

I have a low blood pressure too and my GP thinks its a good thing. How low is low?
Only time it has been an issue was when I had surgery and it dipped but as they knew about it, wasn't a big problem. O and I fainted once but believe me having low bp is way better than having high.

Do exactly as your doctor advises. If you don't feel comfortable with your cardiologist, seek the advice of another....


Low blood pressure is commonly caused by drugs such as:

-Medications used for surgery
-Anti-anxiety agents
-Treatment for high blood pressure or coronary heart disease (CHD)
-Diuretics
-Heart medicines
-Some antidepressants
-Narcotic analgesics
-Alcohol

Other causes of low blood pressure include:

-Dehydration
-Heart failure
-Heart attack
-Changes in heart rhythm (arrhythmias)
-Fainting
-Anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic response)
-Shock (from severe infection, stroke, anaphylaxis, major trauma, or heart attack)
-Advanced diabetes

Another common type of low blood pressure is orthostatic hypotension, which is brought on by a sudden change in body position, usually when shifting from lying down to standing upright.
