10 Signs of Food Poisoning
Food Poisoning Sign #7: Hypotension
Hypotension refers to low blood pressure in the arteries of the circulation. It can be defined as a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure of 60mmHg. Some professionals consider a patient to be hypotensive only when there are noticeable symptoms.
Hypotension can result in syncope and dizziness. It can also indicate underlying endocrine, heart, or neurological disorders. Some causes of hypotension include the side effects of medication, low blood volume, anemia, hormonal changes, and more. In severe food poisoning, dehydration can occur resulting in hypotension.
