10 Causes of Low Blood Pressure
Cause #9: Palpitations and Tachycardia
Palpitations refer to the perceived abnormality of the heartbeat where it can be excessively hard, fast, or irregular. It is often reported by the patient. Palpitations can often be associated with anxiety, cardiovascular disease, asthma, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and more.
In patients with low blood pressure, there is inadequate oxygen supply to parts of the body. This causes the body to try to compensate by having the heart pump faster and harder resulting in palpitations and tachycardia.
