Any medication can cause side effects, and high blood pressure (hbp) medications are no exception. However, many people do not have side effects from taking hypertension drugs, and often the side effects are mild. Still, it's important to stay informed we need sodium to help maintain blood pressure, regulate fluids, and aid in the function of our nerves and muscles. Low blood pressure might seem desirable, and for some people, it causes no problems. However, for many people, abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness and fainting. In severe cases, low blood pressure can be life-threatening. A blood pressure reading lower than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm hg) for the top number (systolic) or 60 mm hg for the bottom number (diastolic) is generally considered low blood pressure.
