Hypotension

Hypotension is defined as abnormally low blood pressure, typically characterized by a systolic pressure below 90 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure below 60 mm Hg. It can result from various causes including dehydration, blood loss, heart conditions, endocrine disorders, sepsis, or medication side effects. Symptoms may include dizziness, fainting, fatigue, blurred vision, and confusion. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve fluid replacement, medication adjustments, or addressing specific medical conditions. In severe cases, hypotension can lead to shock and requires immediate medical intervention.
