Possible Low Blood Pressure Causes

What Causes Hypotension? A very common low blood pressure cause is pregnancy. The baby adds extra weight to the body, the circulatory system has to deal with the new tissues and organs and pump blood to the fetus providing it with nutrients and oxygen. Basically during pregnancy the woman’s circulatory system expands rapidly, faster than the volume of the blood increases so pressure is likely to drop and so you should not be alarmed if this happens to you. Medication is another common low blood pressure cause. There are plenty of medications that lead to a drop in the blood pressure level, so if you just started a new treatment and you notice symptoms related to hypotension then it is likely that the drugs you’re taking are the cause. It might be a good idea to ask your doctor about the side effects of any drugs he prescribes to see if they influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is directly influenced by the endocrine system, so a problem with the thyroid gland is a probable low blood pressure cause. Adrenal insufficiency, low sugar level also lead to hypotension, so if you suffer from diabetes you are at risk and you should carefully monitor your blood pressure. Treatment According to the cause that is to blame for low blood pressure in your case, you can choose an adequate treatment, of course under the strict supervision of your doctor. The cause of hypotension and the severity of the symptoms will indicate a course of action, ranging from simple lifestyle amendments to different medications. Left untreated the hypotension might degenerate into a severe form that reduces blood flow to critical organs including the brain, heart and kidneys and may cause organ failure and can ultimately lead to death. |
