What reason would a teenagers blood pressure drop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sweating: The most common reason: dehydration - usually from sweating. Second reason: vasovagal reaction. (this is the reflex that causes people to pass out when stressed, like seeing blood). Third reason: bleeding (for example, very heavy menses or an injury). Fourth reason: sepsis (life threatening infection). I hope the 4th one isn't the case.
