10 Causes of Low Blood Pressure
Cause #1: Lightheadedness
Lightheadedness is an unpleasant and common sensation where the affected individual may feel faint or dizzy. It can be chronic, short-term, or recurring. Most cases of lightheadedness are not serious and usually resolve on their own. Lightheadedness can be due to blood or oxygen shortage to the brain in cases of low blood pressure and rapid dehydration. It can also be seen in panic attacks, hyperventilation, anemia, antihistamine drugs, narcotics, hypoglycemia, cold, allergies, and more.
The management for lightheadedness usually involves drinking plenty of fluids or intravenous fluids, maintaining a normal blood sugar level, correcting electrolyte imbalances, and avoid sudden changes in posture.
