A member asked:

Can doctors tell me what does low blood pressure mean and what leads to it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood pressure: Some folks have low pressure as their normal. If a patient with an established higher normal begins to have low pressure then some causes are fever, dehydration, infection, hormonal changes, and other possibilities. If pressure is too low it can affect critical organ functions.
