While ‘normal’ blood pressure is suggested to be 120/80 mm Hg, there is no exact number as to when your every day blood pressure may be too low. The lower your blood pressure is, the better you are off – to an extent. If your blood pressure becomes too low, you will become symptomatic. Symptoms of low blood pressure include, but aren’t limited to:

• Dehydration
• Dizziness
• Blurry Vision
• Nausea
• Fainting
• Lack of Concentration
• Shortness of Breath
• Cold / Clammy Skin

If you are not experiencing any of these symptoms, you are more than likely not suffering from low blood pressure. There are several underlying causes to low blood pressure, including:

• Pregnancy
• Decreased Blood Volume
• Prolonged Bed Rest
• Heart Conditions
• Allergic Reactions
• Endocrine Problems
• Nutritional Deficiencies

Just as these symptoms may be present because of underlying problems, it should be dually noted that low blood pressure can also be a symptom of a more serious problem, such as:

• Severe Infections
• Allergic reactions
• Uncontrolled Bleeding
• Postural Hypotension

In the end, you should not worry about low blood pressure unless your blood pressure levels are lower than normal and you are suffering from any symptoms. If this is the case, you may want to consult a doctor immediately to be sure that your low blood pressure isn’t a symptom of a more serious condition. If your blood pressure level remains lower than normal for a few days without becoming symptomatic you may also want to consult a doctor to find out the reason behind the sudden drop in blood pressure levels.
