Is Your Blood Pressure 123/40?
Your blood pressure of 123/40 is considered a Low / Hypotension Blood Pressure.
Low blood pressure, or hypotension, is typically defined as having a blood pressure reading lower than 90/60 mm Hg. While often considered less serious than high blood pressure, low blood pressure can cause various symptoms and may require medical attention, especially if it leads to inadequate blood flow to the organs.

Common symptoms of low blood pressure include dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms occur because the brain and other organs may not receive enough oxygen and nutrients when blood pressure is too low. In severe cases, hypotension can lead to shock, which is a medical emergency.
Several factors can contribute to low blood pressure, including dehydration, heart problems, endocrine disorders, severe infection (septicemia), blood loss, and certain medications. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment. In some instances, low blood pressure may indicate a serious health condition that requires immediate attention.

Treatment for low blood pressure varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms. Increasing fluid and salt intake can help raise blood pressure in cases of dehydration. Medications may be prescribed to address the underlying conditions or to increase blood pressure if lifestyle changes are insufficient.
Preventing and managing low blood pressure involves regular monitoring and lifestyle adjustments. Patients should stay hydrated, avoid prolonged standing, and rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. Wearing compression stockings can also help improve blood circulation. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential for ongoing management.
