Low blood pressure is when your heart pumps blood too slowly around the body to reach vital organs at a pressure below 90/60mmHg.

This isn’t usually a problem, as healthy adults can experience hypotension due to certain lifestyle factors or medication. However, if you experience excessive low blood pressure, it could be a sign of a medical issue or condition that needs to be addressed.
