Low blood pressure Report

A blood pressure (BP) less than 120/80 is considered normal for those in good physical condition. For others, low BP can cause dizziness and fainting or indicate heart, endocrine or neurological disorders. It can deprive vital organs of oxygen and nutrients and, if untreated, may lead to shock.
