High blood pressure is always seen as a risk to the human health. But less is discussed about low blood pressure though it also is a potential risk for the health. So, what exactly happens when the blood pressure goes down? “High BP is a known risk factor of stroke, heart attack and premature death. However, the harms associated with low BP (hypotension) are not well recognized,” says Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad who is popular on X as “hyderabaddoctor”.
When the BP is less than 90/60 mmHg it is referred to as low BP.
