Facts About Hypotension - Diseases and Conditions Index
While much has been written about the health risks associated with high blood pressure, this easy to read Fact Sheet details the dangers of hypotension; or low blood pressure. Hypotension is common and sometimes temporary. It becomes a medical concern only if it causes signs and/or symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or, in extreme cases, shock. The three types of hypotension are explained, along with their causes, symptoms and treatments; orthostatic, neurally mediated, and shock associated. Links to additional resources are included.
