What Is Low Blood Pressure?

Low blood-pressure, also known as hypotension, is a health condition, which commonly occurs when you have a low blood-pressure. A blood pressure reading lower than 90/60 mm Hg is generally considered low blood pressure^[2]. It is also a problem because the blood cannot transfer the essential nutrients and oxygen to all your vital organs. It may indicate there is a problem with your organs such as heart or kidneys or brain and may cause these and other organs to not work properly and thereby being damaged temporarily or permanently^[2]. Hence, it is more effective to keep the blood pressure at a normal level for protecting the vital organs in the body and for preventing the shock of life-threatening problems, because steady low blood-pressure may definitely lead to failing to the vital organs' functionality.
