What Causes Low Blood Pressure?
6. Heart Problems
The chambers of our heart fill with blood and the heart’s muscles will then contract sharply. This action means that blood is forced out of the heart and around the rest of the body at force. It is this force that creates the pressure of the blood as it travels through the circulatory system.
It follows that problems with the heart will also mean the blood is not pumped with enough force, thus lowering the blood pressure. This is exactly the underlying causes of low blood pressure in some cases. While many heart conditions are not immediately dangerous, some can be life-threatening, so it is always a good idea to find it what is causing a low blood pressure.
