Blood Pressure – Low

Circulatory System

Low blood pressure, however uncomfortable for the sufferer, is rarely serious. Low blood pressure is usually hereditary, and slender women are the most susceptible. Low blood pressure is the result of overly lax blood vessel walls that do not respond well to nerve stimulation. It can also be caused by an under-active thyroid, poorly managed diabetes or if the adrenal glands do not produce enough stress hormone. Symptoms include low endurance, dizziness, fainting spells, fatigue, and poor circulation.
