Understanding The Causes Of Hypotension

Blood pressure measures how much force blood uses against the blood vessel walls. There are two numbers in each reading: systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom). The top number is taken as the heart beats. The bottom number is measured during the rest between beats. Hypotension occurs when a patient's systolic number is less than ninety or their diastolic number is less than sixty. Warning signs of this are blurry vision, nausea, and dizziness. Individuals should look out for fatigue, clammy skin, and fainting as well!
