The risks of having blood pressure that is too low include falls and fall-related injuries, shock and heart problems or stroke. 1. Falls and fall-related injuries: These are the biggest risks of low blood pressure because it can cause dizziness and fainting. Falls can lead to broken bones, concussions and other serious or even life-threatening injuries. 2. Shock: When there is low blood pressure, the organs in the body receive less perfused blood flow and blood oxygen levels drop, which can lead to organ damage or even shock. 3. Heart problems or stroke: Low blood pressure causes the heart to try to compensate by pumping faster or harder. Over time, this can lead to permanent heart damage or even heart failure. Also, because the blood is not flowing properly, it can lead to the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, which can eventually cause problems such as deep vein thrombosis or stroke. If a patient’s blood pressure is too low, they need to seek medical attention to clarify the cause and intervene promptly to avoid delays.
