Low Blood Pressure Causes

 

  • Dehydration: Lack of fluids can reduce blood volume, leading to dizziness and fainting.

  • Heart Issues: Problems like heart attack, heart valve issues, or slow heart rate can lower blood pressure.

  • Endocrine Problems: Conditions like underactive thyroid or adrenal insufficiency can cause low blood pressure.

  • Blood Loss: Severe blood loss from injury or internal bleeding reduces the amount of blood circulating.

  • Infection: Severe infections can lead to septicemia, causing a drop in blood pressure.

  • Medications: Certain drugs, like diuretics or beta-blockers, may lower blood pressure.

  • Nutrient Deficiencies: Lack of vitamin B12 or folate can affect blood pressure regulation.
