Low blood presure of 116 and blacked out for about 5 seconds. what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
116 not low: That type of blood pressure shouldn't cause passing out. Does it occur when you stand up abruptly? Does passing out occur after you've been up standing for awhile? 30% of the time we can never diagnose the reason for passing out. If it recurs, best to go see a primary care physician or cardiologist!
