Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure (less than 90/60.

Normal blood pressure is usually in the range of 120/80 (systolic/diastolic). In healthy people, especially athletes, low blood pressure is a sign of good cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. But low blood pressure can be a sign of an underlying problem -- especially in the elderly -- where it may cause inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.


Causes of low blood pressure:

Pregnancy
Hormonal problems such as an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), diabetes, or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Over-the-counter medications
Overdose of high blood pressure drugs
Heart failure
Heart arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
Widening, or dilation, of the blood vessels
Heat exhaustion or heat stroke
Liver disease


Within limits, the lower your blood pressure reading is, the better. In most people blood pressure isn't too low until it causes symptoms such as lightheadedness or fainting. In certain conditions or disease states, blood pressure can become too low, as in these examples:
-certain nervous system disorders (orthostatic hypotension, autonomic failure)
-endocrine disorders (parathyroid disease)
-heart attack and heart failure
- prolonged bed rest
--fainting (syncope) (SIN'ko-pe)
- decreases in blood volume due to severe bleeding (hemorrhage) or dehydration
-effects of certain drugs
- severe infections (sepsis)
- shock
