This is a homework question. What would cause this person with low blood pressure due to the heat stroke to be dizzy and disorientated?

The pulse becomes rapid but weak. Dizziness results from marginal blood flow to the brain.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

There is no correlation between the two, if you are experiencing low blood pressure that doesn't mean your pulse rate would be low, your pulse is measured by your cardiovascular activity and oxygen consumption but it is not used in measuring your blood pressure. The more activity the more your pulse increases and then it slows down over a period of time while you are resting not all at once.

Low Blood Pressure is known as hypotension. When a person has low blood pressure, the blood supply to the brain decreases. This can cause the person to become incoherent/ disoriented or dizzy.
Hope this helps!
Since this is a homework question, I suggest that you still do some research.

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.
The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

pulse becomes rapid and thready ...dizziness comes from lack of blood to the brain and dehydration from the heat...
