Low B P

 

Many patients tell me that they  have low B P disease.But as a matter of fact there is no such

disease. Normal B P for human beings is 120/80 and if more than 140/90 it is high BP or

hypertension.But many people have there B P 100/70 ,or 90/70 .It is normal for them and do not

cause any symptom.As long as you are able to walk and have normal urine output nothing to worry.

If BP suddenly falls due to hemorrhage ,heart attack or loose motion etc  it requires attention.

In elderly people and diabetics have at times a problem called postural hypotension i.e. BP which

is normal in supine (lying down) falls down significantly when the person sits up  or stands. This is

due to weakness of nerves called autonomic neuropathy.

Again in rare disease of adrenal gland called Addison's disease also one may have low BP.
