What Causes Hypotension?

Dehydration

Dehydration seems to appear when the body is not getting enough fluid. It may sometimes result in low blood pressure. Dehydration may occur due to not drinking enough water, excessive sweating, or a fever. Vomiting, diarrhea, and increased urination may also put individuals at risk of becoming dehydrated. Symptoms of dehydration seem to include feely dizzy, fatigue, confusion, and extreme thirst. Individuals may also have dark urine and not urinate as much.

Dehydration may lead to complications such as seizures, kidney failure, and urinary tract infections. Patients are also likely to have low blood volume and hypotension as well. Mild dehydration may be treated by drinking more water. However, severe cases may require intravenous fluids.
