• Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure (less than 90/60).
• Optimal blood pressure is less than 120/80 (systolic/diastolic). In healthy people, low blood pressure without any symptoms is not usually a concern and does not need to be treated. But low blood pressure can be a sign of an underlying problem especially in the elderly.
• Chronic low blood pressure with no symptoms is almost never serious. But health problems can occur when blood pressure drops suddenly and the brain is deprived of an adequate blood supply. This can lead to dizziness or lightheadedness.

• There are a number of potential causes of low blood pressure. In some cases, the underlying condition will need to be treated to correct low blood pressure.
• Some of the most common causes include:

a. Nutritional deficiencies
b. Pregnancy
c. Severa infections
d. Allergic reactions
e. Fall in blood volume
f. Heart issues
• However, low blood pressure can also be an indicator of good health if a person is not experiencing any symptoms.
𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬?
• Most people with low blood pressure do not need medications or other medical interventions to raise blood pressure. Do this!

1. Eat more salt
2. Avoid alcoholic beverages
3. Discuss medications with a doctor
4. Cross legs while sitting
5. Drink water

6. Eat small meals frequently
7. Avoid sudden position changes
8. Be aware of symptoms

Low blood pressure is only considered a problem if symptoms exist. If there are no symptoms present, low blood pressure should be taken as a sign of good health.
• While low blood pressure might seem like a good thing to have, a person’s blood pressure can occassionally be too low and cause problems.
• In some situations, natural solutions can raise low blood pressure and relieve some of the symptoms that accompany it. In other cases, intervention in the form of medications and therapies may be needed to raise blood pressure to a healthy level.
