Dizzy All The Time? Your Blood Pressure May Be Too Low

  • Pregnancy – a rapidly expanding circulatory system can affect your blood pressure level.
  • Heart conditions – issues with the heart valve as well as dealing with a low heart rate, heart failure, or heart attack will lead to a less than ideal blood pressure.
  • Problems with the endocrine system – low blood sugar, thyroid disease, and Addison’s Disease are a few of the illnesses that can lead to low blood pressure. 
  • A poor diet – if you’re not getting enough B vitamins in your diet, it can affect how well your body maintains its blood pressure.
  • A critical infection – a severe blood infection can send the body into septic shock.
  • Significant blood loss – an injury that causes severe blood loss will cause a drop in pressure. This is especially important if you suspect internal bleeding.
  • Anaphylactic shock – This extreme reaction to an allergen can cause a variety of symptoms. Along with hives, trouble breathing, and a swollen throat, a dangerous drop in our blood pressure can be expected. 
  • Certain medications – There is a long list of drugs that can cause a drop in your blood pressure. This includes the medications used to treat depression, high cholesterol, water retention, Parkinson’s disease, and heart disease.

Additionally, the type of low blood pressure you have can differ.

That’s why it’s important to see your doctor. In that way, you’ll get a treatment program that addresses the cause of the issue as well as the type of blood pressure problem you have.

 

When You Need a Doctor

As mentioned in a previous section, any sign of shock means you need to contact a doctor.

More subtle symptoms may also need medical intervention. For example, if you’re feeling dizzy or lightheaded constantly, that’s something to discuss with your doctor.

Additionally, persons who have consistently low blood pressure but have no symptoms need to be assessed for any underlying conditions. 

While a temporary drop in blood pressure can happen, you should definitely be concerned if you’re experiencing the symptoms listed here regularly.

Ignoring consistently low blood pressure can have a drastic effect on your overall health.
