There are times when your body sends messages that are hard to ignore since they indicate some problems. When you feel weak, your hands are cold, and you have lightheadedness, these symptoms are ignored as fatigue. In fact, they could be the signs of hypotension, a situation whereby there is poor blood supply to your internal organs.

Recognising hypotension will enable you to avoid dangerous health situations. However, if you seek proper management, hypotension will be under control.

Introduction to Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension)

Hypertension or low blood pressure occurs when your blood pressure pushes into your arteries more strongly than expected. In such circumstances, your organs will lack a sufficient supply of nutrients and oxygen. Ideally, an individual's normal BP is supposed to be 120/80mmHg. On the other hand, low blood pressure occurs when the BP goes below 90/60mmHg.

Different Kinds of Low Blood Pressure

Identifying the type of hypotension is important because each requires different treatments. The types are:- 

  • Orthostatic Hypotension,
  •  Postprandial Hypotension,
  •  Neurally Mediated Hypotension,
  • Severe Hypotension (Shock).

Symptoms of Hypotension

These are some of the symptoms that you might experience:

  • Cold feet and hands
  • Weakness and tiredness
  • Dizziness
  • Fuzzy vision
  • Fainting (in extreme situations)
  • Inability to focus
  • Nausea

Causes of Hypotension

There are several causes of low blood pressure:

  • Dehydration
  • Insufficient nutrition (lack of iron and vitamin B12)
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Heart diseases
  • Bleeding
  • Some drugs
  • Sedentary lifestyle

How Is Low Blood Pressure Diagnosed?

Modern Medical Diagnosis

  • Electrocardiogram (to assess heart functions)

Ayurvedic Viewpoint

  • Prakriti (constitution/body type)
  • Dosha imbalance assessment

Low Blood Pressure in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, low BP is mostly caused by Vata Dosha imbalance. When Vata rises, it results in weak circulation, dryness, and weakness. Some other causes include:

  • Mandagni (weak digestion)
  • Dhatu kshaya (insufficient nourishment of body tissues)
  • Ojas depletion (low energy flow)
