What Causes Low Blood Pressure?
9. Sepsis
Our immune systems do a wonderful job of protecting us from infections. They work 24/7 and are quick to react to any threat as soon as it is recognized. In most cases, we will not even be aware that there was a danger because our body will react to the threat quickly and efficiently.
Infections will sometimes be able to take hold, however, and this will require a stronger response by the immune system. In case of severe infections, there may be a severe reaction that can cause damage to patient’s own organs and tissues. The result can be life-threatening, and symptoms include a severe drop in blood pressure.
