A member asked:
Does low blood pressure cause norepinephrine and epinephrine to be created to raise blood pressure, or am i way off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're right: Hi. Blood pressure sensors in parts of the aorta and carotid arteries sense low BP and reflexly activate the sympathetic nervous system to help maintain/restore BP, part of which involves adrenomedullary catecholamine secretion.
