Idiopathic hypotension - what does this mean
Idiopathic hypotension is a form of low blood pressure with no known cause. it is caused by a reduced ability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, resulting in decreased blood flow to the organs and tissues. symptoms may include dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue. treatment may involve lifestyle modifications such as increasing salt and water intake, and medications to regulate blood pressure.
What happens during the disease - idiopathic hypotension
Idiopathic hypotension is a condition in which the patient experiences a significant and persistent drop in blood pressure without any identifiable cause. it is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, which regulates the body's involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure. this can lead to a decrease in the body's ability to regulate blood pressure, leading to hypotension. other possible causes include hormonal imbalances, dehydration, side effects of medications, and underlying medical conditions.
