Low blood pressure (hypotension) is pressure so low it causes symptoms or signs due to the low flow of blood through the arteries and veins!. When the flow of blood is too low to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidney, the organs do not function normally and may be permanently damaged!.

Unlike high blood pressure, low blood pressure is defined primarily by signs and symptoms of low blood flow and not by a specific blood pressure number!. Some individuals may have a blood pressure of 90/50 with no symptoms of low blood pressure and therefore do not have low blood pressure!. However, others who normally have high blood pressure may develop symptoms of low blood pressure if their blood pressure drops to 100/60!.

"Low blood pressure, also called hypotension, would seem to be something to strive for!. After all, high blood pressure (hypertension) is a well-known risk factor for heart disease and other problems!. In fact, in recent years there has been an ongoing downward revision of what is considered a normal blood pressure reading!. A blood pressure less than 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) is now considered normal and optimal for good health!.

So, it's easy to understand why you might assume the lower the better when it comes to blood pressure!. And it's true that for some people
