Breathing Problems
The body relies on consistent blood flow to carry oxygen and essential nutrients to various organs, including the lungs. Having lower blood pressure can make breathing more difficult, especially in overweight or elderly individuals.
For some, breathing issues associated with lower blood pressure are alleviated by avoiding vigorous activities or environments containing pollutants, smoke, chemicals or allergens. If breathing becomes labored, it may be necessary to seek emergency medical attention. Doctors may administer oxygen directly to stabilize breathing patterns.
