Low Blood Pressure – What are the Symptoms?
As we know force exerted by moving blood in the blood vessels is principal vital sign for Blood Pressure. It is result of heart pumping blood out into the arteries to all organs of the body. This is exerted by heart is regulated by arteries by flowing blood into whole body.
Normal blood pressure for human body is 120/80; these numbers are expressed in medical term as Systolic (top) and Diastolic (Bottom). The above number Systolic happens when pressure in arteries increases due to heart contraction and pumps blood out into arteries. The bottom number Diastolic happens when pressure in arteries decreases due to relaxation of heart after it contracts.
In medical term is called Hypotension or low blood pressure. This happens due to low flow of blood through arteries. Low flow of blood in arteries and veins can lead to less oxygen being passed to vital organs. In case of less oxygen being passed to brain, heart, kidney and eye, they can get damage and in some serious situations it can permanently damaged vital organs.
