Low blood pressure: Low BP is often seen without significant symptoms, so generally not something to worry about. But when it's associated with fatigue, lightheadedness, or fainting, then something needs to be done to figure out why its happening and how to make it better. These little text boxes are too small for a personalized assessment. Consider a consult here on HealthTap to figure out the cause and treatment.
