Low blood pressure dangerous?!
Question: Low blood pressure dangerous!?
I'm pretty sure i have low blood pressure because when i stand up i often get very dizzy/light headed and feel like I'm going to faint and a couple of times i have collapsed because its so severe!. I was wondering if low blood pressure could be dangerous!? It also worried me a bit as I'm only 13, if it makes any difference my dad suffers heart problems (aorta aneurysm and bicuspid valve) and my grandma and great grandma both have heart problems i think they have angina and my mum has a heart mummer, and my grandad has diabetes type 2!. Thankyou xWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would get diabetes checked!. If you are concerned about low blood pressure, go to one of those blood pressure machines in pharmacies!. They are not exact, but close enough to let you know if low!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Low blood pressure is not generally worry some UNLESS, you become symptomatic, which it sounds like you may be!.
You should inform your parients, if you haven't already, of this ongoing issue!. Also, this needs to be brought to the attention of your doctor!. An appointment to see him/her would be in order, and at the very minimum a phone call to his/her office!. They will be able to help in getting this issue straightened out!.
In the mean time, take your time when changing from a sitting/lyeing down position to a standing position!. If bending or stooping, try to keep your head above the level of your heart, and you may wish to have something close by to help catch your balance if you should become dizzy or stumble!.

you have orthostatic hypotension (the dizziness after standing up) it is because the blood circulating in ur body is adjusting to ur position, if u stand up directly it has difficulty adjusting and reaching ur brain that's why u feel dizzy!. !. try this, when ur lying down sit first at the side of the bed then try standing up!. !. !. when ur sitted try standing slowly!. !.
but still better have ur Blood pressure checked normal BP for u wud be 110/70-130/90!. !. sumtyms 100/70 is ok!. !. !.
also have ur blood checked u may be anemic!. !. !. Www@Answer-Health@Com

We hear about high blood pressure all the time, but if the pressure gets too low, then you probably have a problem and you should go talk to the doctor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi,
I have ridiculously low blood pressure and whilst it does make me very dizzy from time to time (I cant get in lifts or on escalators and if i stand up too fast I feel icky) having low blood pressure isn't going to harm you!. It's a good idea to see your doctor who'll be able to tell you if your blood pressure is low!. You may also be anemic (that's when the volume of your blood isn't great enough- again, not to be too scared about, having it isn't painful or life-threatening) or you may have an iron deficiency!. I eat a very iron-rich diet but my body finds it difficult to hold onto the iron so I take iron tablets to bump up my levels (again, not to be worried about, you just take one pill a day, they're cheap, you can get them at any pharmacy)!.
If your doctor has any more concerns he might send you for blood tests to check diabetes and a few other things!.
The best thing to do is not to worry and go see your doctor!. Avoid doing things that are going to make you feel worse (like going on roller coasters)!. If it's just low blood pressure, there is no need to panic at all!. Whilst having low blood pressure is a pain in the neck because of the dizzy spells, it won't hurt you!. Having high blood pressure is far far worse and leads to heart problems!.
