What Is A Dangerously Low Blood Pressure

Low blood pressure (aka hypotension) is often considered a sign of good health, but this is not always the case. Ongoing low blood pressure or a sudden drop in blood pressure can lead to dangerous symptoms and even serious chronic health problems. The best way to safeguard your health is by getting regular blood pressure tests to ensure you don’t have either high or low blood pressure. It’s fast and convenient to get a blood pressure test in London at Pearl Chemist Group in Merton, Morden, Streatham, and Tolworth.

Understanding Low Blood Pressure

Anyone can develop low blood pressure, but it is most common in people who are elderly, have high blood pressure, don’t eat a balanced diet, or who have certain diseases.

In general, if your blood pressure test reading is under 90/60 mm Hg, it is abnormally low and is regarded as hypotension. Some adults with low blood pressure have no symptoms and do not require treatment, while other who have low blood pressure symptoms need medical attention.

What Is a Dangerously Low Blood Pressure Test Number?

If the results of your blood pressure test show a reading below90/60 mm Hg, this indicates low blood pressure and if it is accompanied by any of the below low blood pressure symptoms, you should visit your healthcare provider.

The ideal blood pressure reading is from 90/60mmHg to 120/80mmHg and high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher.
