Blood pressure - low
Definition:
Low blood pressure is an abnormal condition in which a person's blood pressure (the pressure of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels during and after each beat of the heart) is much lower than usual. It can cause symptoms such as dizziness or lightheadedness.
Alternative Names:
Hypotension; Low blood pressure
Considerations:
When the blood pressure is too low, there is inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.
A blood pressure level that is borderline low for one person may be normal for another. The most important factor is how the blood pressure changes from the normal condition. Most normal blood pressures fall in the range of 90/60 mm Hg to 130/80 mm Hg, but a significant change, even as little as 20 mm Hg, can cause problems for some people.
Common Causes:
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.

properly, he's suffered hypothermia. He desires to be warmed up. maximum actual temperatures shift decrease than a level. His physique WILL close down if he's no longer warmed up quickly. stable success!

My mom went through (still is) this also, she has poor circulation. a sweater and warm socks seems to help her. I would suggest a visit to your doctor for some tests, especially if you don't feel well.

put your sweater on. Maybe you are anemic. You may just have a natural low temp. or an innaccurate thermometer.
