Fainting due to low blood pressure | Black outs

Many people with low blood pressure have no symptoms - their bodies have simply adapted to the new pressure level and can function well and without symptoms.

Others feel faint or dizzy as their BP level drops.

Fainting due to low blood pressure levels is most often seen when the levels drop from normal to low suddenly. Sometimes it can also happen with a drop from high BP to a more normal reading.

These kind of changes are most often caused by medications, by illness or by low blood count or blood loss.

If you feel symptoms like this then you should see your doctor for a check over.
