Hypotension simply means low blood pressure. It’s a blood pressure reading of below 90/60 mm/Hg. For some people, low blood pressure might be a desirable condition, and it usually doesn’t show any symptoms in many. However, that doesn’t mean  low blood pressure symptoms don’t exist.  In fact, when the symptoms do show up, they can be disruptive and unpleasant. This post will elaborate on the symptoms, causes, and remedies of low blood pressure.

What Causes Low Blood Pressure? 
Low blood pressure has many causes and can vary from one individual to another. It can affect both healthy people and ones with underlying health conditions like diabetes. Moreover, low blood pressure can sometimes be the result of aging or may be genetic. There are also some temporary factors that can lead to low blood pressure, such as dehydration or pregnancy. Understanding blood pressure  causes and symptoms is important so as to find the right remedies and treatments for it.

  • Drink enough water: 

One of the common causes of low blood pressure is dehydration. Drinking enough water can help avoid this condition. Moreover, it can also help increase blood volume and is essential for overall well being. 

  • Increase sodium intake: 

According to experts, increasing your salt intake can help raise blood pressure moderately or sometimes dramatically.  

  • Avoid rapid movements: 

People with low blood pressure should avoid standing up or sitting rapidly as it can result in dizziness, light-headedness, and even fainting. 

  • Avoid alcoholic beverages: 

Alcohol is known for lowering blood pressure. Hence, people with low blood pressure should avoid or at least reduce their alcohol intake. 

  • Eat small portions of meals frequently: 

Eating small meals several times throughout the day may help prevent the sudden drop in blood pressure that one may experience after meals. 

When To See A Doctor?
