Is low blood pressure hereditary?

Low BP h2?: in general BP is inherited. So if your parents/family have low BP yours will likely be lower. This becomes evident by 6 months of age. Some known causes of low BP are also inherited. So you need a detailed history for the causes of low BP, a good PE with BP MEASURED supine, seated, standing and after exercise. Then some lab tested directed by the Hx and PE. Start by seeing internist.

Maybe: Yes, it can be. If you do not have light headedness, racing heart rate or any other discomfort, then do not worry about it.
