Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypotension: Low blood pressure is a condition when blood pressure drops below the normal range, which may reduce cardiac output and hypovolemia (low blood volume). It can cause dizziness, weakness, fainting, and a risk of injury from falls. Also, severely low blood pressure can deprive your body of enough oxygen to carry out its functions, leading to damage to your heart and brain. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. Ideal blood pressure should be 120/80 mmHg. Hypotension exists when the systolic pressure is less than 90 mmHg, and the diastolic pressure is less than 60 mmHg.
