What does it mean to have pre hypotension?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing: "pre" anything is essentially nonsense - in this case, a way of getting people scared to do the right thing in terms of salt, diet and weight. Sorta like saying "your borderline" - its not an actual condition rather, a warning - code orange - not code red - but, bad enough to listen!
