Blood Pressure: How Low Can You Go?
While high blood pressure gets much of the attention, low blood pressure (hypotension) can also impact
your well-being, causing dizziness, fatigue, or fainting. Knowing the causes is the first step toward balance.
5 Common Causes of Low Blood Pressure:
1. Dehydration – Inadequate fluid intake reduces blood volume.
2. Nutritional Deficiencies – Lack of essential vitamins like B12 and folate.
3. Heart Conditions – Issues affecting heart rate or output.
4. Endocrine Problems – Such as thyroid disorders or adrenal insufficiency.
5. Medication Side Effects – Certain prescriptions for hypertension, depression, or Parkinson’s.
If you're experiencing symptoms like lightheadedness, blurred vision, or persistent fatigue,
it’s important not to ignore them.
