Causes of low blood pressure vary
Athletes and people who exercise regularly tend to have lower blood pressure than do people who aren't as fit. So, in general, do nonsmokers and people who eat well and maintain a normal weight.
But in some instances, low blood pressure can be a sign of serious, even life-threatening disorders. And although the reason for lower than normal blood pressure isn't always clear, doctors know that the following factors can cause or contribute to low and sometimes to dangerously low readings:
- Heart problems. Some heart conditions that can lead to low blood pressure include extremely low heart rate (bradycardia), heart valve problems, heart attack and heart failure. These conditions may cause low blood pressure because they prevent your body from being able to circulate enough blood. (omg i have heart cramps occasionally)
Types of low blood pressure
Doctors often break down low blood pressure (hypotension) into different categories, depending on the causes and other factors. Some types of low blood pressure include:
Low blood pressure on standing up (postural or orthostatic hypotension). This is a sudden drop in blood pressure when you stand up from a sitting position or if you stand up after lying down. Ordinarily, blood pools in your legs whenever you stand, but your body compensates for this by increasing your heart rate and constricting blood vessels, thereby ensuring that enough blood returns to your brain. But in people with postural hypotension, this compensating mechanism fails and blood pressure falls, leading to dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision and even fainting.
Postural hypotension can occur for a variety of reasons including dehydration, prolonged bed rest, pregnancy, diabetes, heart problems, burns, excessive heat, large varicose veins and certain neurological disorders. A number of medications can also cause postural hypotension, particularly drugs used to treat high blood pressure — diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors — as well as antidepressants and drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and erectile dysfunction.
Postural hypotension is especially common in older adults, with as many as 20 percent of those over age 65 experiencing postural hypotension. But postural hypotension can also affect young, otherwise healthy people who stand up suddenly after sitting with their legs crossed for long periods or after working for a time in a squatting position.

You said curiosity killed the cat.
I understood.
No doubt there’s many things I wanted to voice out.
But I have realized. They are just excuses.
Excuses that I use to cover up what I know is wrong,
But refused to admit because of the word pride.
I once thought.
I’m me. Don’t compare me with others
Cause we are different individuals.
But I discovered. My actions were the root of the comparison.
I always thought I’m correct.
But little did I know it was my stubbornness that’s wrong.
for all the mistakes and actions of mine,sorry is just too late. but this time I’m not going to be all talk no actions.
I know I had been wrong but I’m not going to let it be.
See for yourself a new me.
Time will do the proving & talking.
I shall not live in regrets anymore.
I’m sorry to have caused so much tears, pain, disappointment.
No more empty promises.
Saying that I will change doesn’t mean anything anymore.
I can only say, I will not waste my life away again..
I’m tired of being the opposition party.
Mummy I’m sorry…
For once more, trust me.
will be MIA-ing once again...
i'm back (:
