In some situations, natural solutions can raise low blood pressure and relieve some of the symptoms that accompany it. In other cases, intervention in the form of medications and therapies may be needed to raise blood pressure to a healthy level.
What is low blood pressure?
Blood pressure can be measured using millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Low blood pressure or hypotension is most regularly defined as any reading lower than 90 mmHg over 60 mmHg.
However, most doctors will only describe low blood pressure as a problem if a person has the symptoms of low blood pressure.
Low blood is not a concern if there are no symptoms present. However, when low blood pressure causes symptoms it can be a sign that not enough blood is getting to the organs.
If this happens for too long, it can cause serious consequences, including:
- shock
- stroke
- heart attack
- kidney failure
