Low blood pressure is not considered as a disease in itself. Some experts believe that low blood pressure affected individuals are quite lucky enough as their low blood pressure will keep them protected from risk of developing various diseases which are very commonly seen in case of high blood pressure patients. Even after knowing this fact, low blood pressure patients develop stress and become tensed when they are made aware with the fact that they are suffering from low blood pressure. Unnecessary stress is the biggest and dreadful disease present in today's modern world.
CAUSES OF LOW BLOOD PRESSURE:-
Low blood pressure develops after a heart attack. It is also seen in case of major operations, where excess of blood is lost from the body. In certain cases it develops due to heredity. No matter what all changes are made in the diet of low blood pressure patients, their blood pressure always remains low.
Low blood pressure is usually seen after an individual is freed from diseases. It can also be seen in case of disorders of adrenal gland. All these are considered as causes of low blood pressure. If a person is suffering from low blood pressure due to these diseases then it's a matter of some concern. Low blood pressure in absence of these diseases do not need a lot of concern. Low b.p. is neither a sign of any kind of heart disease nor any kind of heart related disorder develops in that person. If an individual has such doubts he should understand that his doubts are baseless. He should understand that his body build up is responsible to keep his b.p. low.
Low b.p. patient appears weak, less active, low in energy and also low in hope. Low blood pressure is not fatal but there is need for special care. Cardiac output reduction usually occurs after an infection or after being affected by various diseases and this can be a cause for low b.p. Individuals who do not eat nutritious food may also suffer from it. Flow in blood also decreases when an individual gets tired. Low blood pressure is also seen in case of burnt people. Burning reduces the liquid in body and thus pressure of blood decreases. Other causes of low blood pressure are myocardial infection, disorders of adrenal glands and heart diseases.
Above mentioned causes may result in low blood pressure. Pressure in blood decreases when body does not get adequate nutrition. This increases decrease in blood flow as well as weakness in an individual. Stiff blood vessels result in obstruction in blood flow. As a consequence, blood pressure rises. Blood flow experiences obstruction throughout the various organs of the body. Thus, heart does not work efficiently. This will reduce the pressure of the blood. This kind of condition is seen in certain individuals. Also, venom if injected, rapidly makes blood toxic. This toxic blood imparts its effect on various organs of body. Its effect is also seen on heart. As a result, postural hypotension develops.
In case of heat exertion, patient sweats out a lot. This will excrete a lot of salt from the body. This will also result in low b.p. Such individuals if tries to stand up, will fail in their trial and will fall dizzy. In case of severe heart diseases, low b.p. is seen. Myocarditis develops in case of disorders in mitral valve. Pressure of blood is seen to reduce greatly due to myocardial degeneration. Dental diseases, disorders in tonsils, disorders in teeth, disorders of kidney can all result in low b.p. Pressure in blood decreases in all the conditions where fluid loss from body occurs.
SYMPTOMS OF LOW BLOOD PRESSURE:-
Usually, low blood pressure is found in individuals who are tall in height, weak in strength, lean and with low tolerance power. These individuals often experience dizziness when all of a sudden they try to stand up from their sitting position or even while they enter into a high temperature room. For this, they have to either sit back or lower their head to overcome dizziness. Specialists do not consider low blood pressure as a separate individual disorder. Thus, it does not have its independent symptoms. Some of the symptoms seen are lean body, weakness, falling unconscious, dizziness, mental depression etc.....
Low blood pressure patients are usually very thin. Individuals who often fear, remain sad, tensed, suffers from insomnia, controls hunger, controls thirst, masturbates excessively, eat less, does lots of physical exercises etc..... have lean body. Their body becomes more thin then required. In such conditions, it is believed that pressure of blood in that individual has decreased. This may be a cause of low blood pressure.
Person becomes weak if he has excessively thin body. In such individuals he is not in a position to tolerate cold temperature, heat, air pressure, rainy season as well as other emergency troubles. This is due to decrease in pressure of his blood.
Low blood pressure patient may fall unconscious. It is also known as fainting. Causes for all kinds of unconsciousness is physical as well as mental inefficiency and this inefficiency can also result from low blood pressure. Due to decreased pressure in blood, body parts and eyes loses activeness and person is not able to breath properly.
Low blood patient may also experience dizziness. It is also known as giddiness. In this state, patient experiences his body being moving in a circular direction and then he faints and falls. This also occurs in patients suffering from decreased pressure in blood.
Low blood pressure patients also suffer from mental depression. Decreased blood flow or obstruction in the blood flow in brain will lead to decrease in the work efficiency of brain. When an individual suffers from mental depression, his mind does not remains stable. Various thoughts keep running in his brain. He is not able to think regarding any issue with calm mind. Individuals who often show anger on silly issues and often remain irritated usually suffer from one or the other kind of mental depression. It is also known as nervous instability. This symptom is also experienced in decreased blood pressure.
CONCLUSION:-
If an individual experiences any of the above symptoms of low blood pressure then he should come to a conclusion that he may be suffering from it. Excessively thin body is considered to be its main symptom. Due to decreased blood flow, heart, brain and other body organs do not work efficiently. If a person is very thin, often remains inactive and sad should be sent for proper diagnosis. Once he is diagnosed of low blood pressure then the reason behind it should be known. If doctor is able to diagnose its underlying cause then the treatment prescribed becomes effective. If doctor is not able to diagnose the underlying cause then it becomes a little difficult to treat the patient.
HOME REMEDIES OF LOW BLOOD PRESSURE:-
- Red tomato juice should be consumed regularly. This will get rid of weakness and tiredness. Appetite also increases.

POSTURAL HYPOTENSION:-
Blood pressure of an individual is measured in lying position. Same individual is made to stand for some time and then his blood pressure is measured again. systolic pressure in lying position is 50 m.m. less from the systolic pressure in standing position. Such drastic change if occurs in person then he is known to be suffering from postural hypotension.
CAUSES OF POSTURAL HYPOTENSION:-
Cause for postural hypotension is carotid sinus reflex deficiency.
Postural hypotension occurs very less in case of women and in case of men it is seen below 40 years of age.
SYMPTOMS OF POSTURAL HYPOTENSION:-
Main symptom seen in postural hypotension is that patient faints and falls unconscious. Usually it happens in standing position. Sometimes it also occurs in sitting position.
