 What is low blood pressure?

1. What is low blood pressure?

 Low blood pressure means that the amount of blood flowing through the arteries is lower than normal. When the blood flow is reduced, the heart pumps less blood per minute and the body's organs don't receive enough oxygen-rich blood. This condition may cause symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, and nausea.

 2. Causes of low blood pressure

 The causes of low blood pressure vary depending on the person. In some cases, the cause is unknown. Other causes include high cholesterol levels, diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid problems, smoking, alcohol use, and certain medications.

 3. Treatment options

 If you have low blood pressure, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, including losing weight if necessary, quitting smoking, reducing salt intake, increasing exercise, and taking medication. If these measures aren't effective, your doctor may prescribe drugs to treat the problem.

 4. How to prevent low blood pressure

 You can help prevent low blood pressure by maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, drinking only moderate amounts of alcohol, and getting regular medical checkups.
