There may be several reasons for low blood pressure. Are you currently taking blood pressure medicine? Are you dehydrated, anemic, sick? Do you have any other underlying medical problems? The first step is to determine the cause.

Stop drugs or over the counter meds, give salt and volume.

We treat low blood pressure by figuring out the cause of low blood pressure. If your blood pressure is always low and doesn't give you any symptoms, there is no need to treat it. If there is an underlying cause, this cause should be treated. And if your blood pressure is low with an untreatable cause, we have a few medications to raise the blood pressure.
