What could be most worse consequences of low blood pressure?

Question

Hi,

As long as you are not experiencing symptoms of low blood pressure, there is no need for concern. Chronically low blood pressure is considered dangerous only if it causes noticeable signs and symptoms, such as:

Dizziness or lightheadedness
    Fainting (called syncope)
    Dehydration and unusual thirst
    Dehydration can sometimes cause blood pressure to drop. However, dehydration does not automatically signal low blood pressure. Fever, vomiting, severe diarrhea, overuse of diuretics and strenuous exercise can all lead to dehydration, a potentially serious condition in which your body loses more water than you take in. Even mild dehydration (a loss of as little as 1 percent to 2 percent of body weight), can cause weakness, dizziness and fatigue.
    Lack of concentration
    Blurred vision
    Nausea
    Cold, clammy, pale skin
    Rapid, shallow breathing
    Fatigue
    Depression

As long as no symptoms are present, low blood pressure is not a problem. However, if your blood pressure is normally higher or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, your low pressure may have an underlying cause.
