What causes low blood pressure? These two points are the most common

In daily life, low blood pressure often prevents people from working and studying normally. Therefore, we need to learn more about the causes of low blood pressure.

1. Physiological hypotension

It refers to a group of healthy people whose blood pressure measurements have reached the low blood pressure standard, but they do not have any conscious symptoms. After long-term follow-up, except for low blood pressure, there are no abnormalities such as ischemia and hypoxia in the organs of various systems of the human body, and it does not affect life expectancy.

2. Pathological hypotension

In addition to lowered blood pressure, it is often accompanied by symptoms of varying degrees and certain diseases.

(1) Primary hypotension refers to a state of low blood pressure without obvious cause, such as physiological hypotension (constitutional hypotension), which is more common in frail elderly people and women.

(2) Secondary hypotension refers to a decrease in blood pressure caused by a disease of a certain organ or system of the human body. This type of hypotension can occur rapidly in a short period of time, such as a sharp decrease in blood pressure caused by massive bleeding, acute myocardial infarction, severe trauma, infection, allergy, etc. In most cases, hypotension occurs slowly and may gradually worsen, such as hypotension secondary to severe tuberculosis, malignant tumors, malnutrition, cachexia, etc.
