Physiologic hypotension is more common in the elderly and women, while pathologic hypotension is mainly seen in myocardial infarction, massive blood loss, and severe infections.
There are many causes of hypotension, which are categorized into physiological and pathological causes. Physiological causes include primary hypotension, which is more common in the elderly or women who are thin and weak, and some patients will also have low blood pressure after meals, which is mainly due to the change of blood distribution after meals.
Pathological hypotension is mainly seen in blood volume deficiency due to factors such as massive blood loss, decreased pump function due to acute myocardial infarction, and relative blood volume deficiency due to severe infections and trauma.
Hypotension can also be caused by hormonal vasodilatation in pregnant women, and in a small percentage of patients, upright hypotension can be caused by sudden rising.
If the recurrence of low blood pressure, and accompanied by dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, you need to consult the cardiology department of the hospital, improve the relevant examination to determine the cause of the disease and then treat the cause.
