10 Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Rapid, Weak Pulse
The rate at which blood flows through the body depends largely on the speed at which the heart is pumping. The flow is also affected by the power at which the heart can pump. Blood pressure – providing the power to pump - can also be affected by other factors such as fluids in the blood and the condition of the blood vessels.
Tachycardia is a condition where your heart is beating far faster than it should be. It beats so fast, in fact, that the chambers are unable to fill with blood between beats. This means that less blood is pumped, leading to low blood pressure. This is a potentially dangerous condition and emergency medical assistance should be sought.
