Answer 1

Most common causes are:
Dehydration is common among patients with diarrhea who lose large amounts of water in their stool, particularly when drowsiness limits their drinking of fluids or is associated with nausea and vomiting. Dehydration also can occur with prolonged vomiting of any cause because of the loss of water in the vomitus. Other causes of dehydration include exercise, sweating, fever, and heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Individuals with mild dehydration may experience only thirst and dry mouth. Moderate to severe dehydration may cause orthostatic hypotension (manifest by light-headedness, dizziness or fainting upon standing). Protracted and severe dehydration can lead to shock, kidney failure, confusion, acidosis (too much acid in the blood), coma, and even death.
TREATMENT
Removal/treatment of the cause.
Physical exercise daily.
High Protein diet.
As far salt is concerned take in moderate amount.
Yes you will regain normal BP if there is no cardiac disease.

Answer 4

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 5

Low blood pressure causes
Faulty nutrition, Malnutrition
The most important cause of low blood pressure is faulty nutrition. It makes the tissues forming the walls of the blood vessels over-relaxed, and flabby or streched. This results in less supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Malnutrition can result from a diet deficient in calories, proteins, vitamin C, or almost any one of the B vitamins.
Loss of blood, slow internal bleeding
Sometimes the blood pressure falls rapidly because of loss of blood. Low blood pressure may also develop gradually because of slow bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, or bladder.
Emotional instability
Emotional problems are a far more frequent cause of low blood pressure. To a lesser degree, prolonged disappointment and frustration may result in a subnormal blood pressure.

Answer 6

Low blood pressure can result from conditions that do not begin in the nervous system, conditions of the nervous system, and drugs.

Conditions that are not nervous system illness which can cause low blood pressure include bleeding, infections, dehydration, heart disease, adrenal insufficiency, pregnancy, prolonged bed rest, poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and blood transfusion reactions.

Conditions of the nervous system which can lead to low blood pressure include changing position from lying to more vertical (postural hypotension), stroke, shock, lightheadedness after urinating or defecating, fright, Shy-Drager syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and neuropathy.

Drugs which can cause low blood pressure include blood pressure drugs, diuretics (water pills), heart medications (especially calciumantagonists-nifedipine/Procardia, beta blockers-propranolol/Inderal and others), depression medications (such as amitriptylene/Elavil), and alcohol.

How is low blood pressure treated?

Low blood pressure may or may not require treatment. The treatment of low blood pressure is directed toward the underlying cause. Seriously low blood pressure is initially treated with intravenous fluids.

More Salt intake is not good for High blood Pressure. So you can take normal salt.-

Answer 8

Reduced blood volume, called hypovolemia, is the most common mechanism producing hypotension. This can result from hemorrhage, or blood loss; insufficient fluid intake, as in starvation; or excessive fluid losses from diarrhea or vomiting. Hypovolemia is often induced by excessive use of diuretics. (Other medications can produce hypotension by different mechanisms.)

Decreased cardiac output despite normal blood volume, due to severe congestive heart failure, large myocardial infarction, or bradycardia, often produces hypotension and can rapidly progress to cardiogenic shock. Arrhythmias often result in hypotension by this mechanism. Beta blockers can cause hypotension both by slowing the heart rate and by decreasing the pumping ability of the heart muscle.

Excessive vasodilation, or insufficient constriction of the resistance blood vessels (mostly arterioles), causes hypotension. This can be due to decreased sympathetic nervous system output or to increased parasympathetic activity occurring as a consequence of injury to the brain or spinal cord or of dysautonomia, an intrinsic abnormality in autonomic system functioning. Excessive vasodilation can also result from sepsis, acidosis, or medications, such as nitrate preparations, calcium channel blockers, or ACE inhibitors. Many anesthetic agents and techniques, including spinal anesthesia and most inhalational agents, produce significant vasodilation.

Answer 9

the cause of low blood pressure is different from one person to another person. there are several cause to it. the basic cause of low blood pressure are as follows 1) heavy stress 2) eating heavy oily food every day 3) not doing exercise regularly 4) forgot to eat tablet as prescribed by doctor. it is common that avoiding salty food is optional and depend on one health , such case arise. it is better to consult the doctor when low blood pressure arise.
