Low blood pressure
My mother is suffering from low blood pressure from many years
Do suggest what to do
She generally have 95|68
Tell me what to do?
This is a normal blood pressure. Your mother must be thin and lean. People with low body weight tend to have low normal values of blood pressures which are also beneficial in the long run.
As a matter of fact your mother is not actually “suffering” at all. There is no such diagnosis called “low blood pressure” in outpatient setting in Medicine. But some practitioners brand a set of patients as having “low blood pressure” and suggest high salt diet which is completely rubbish.
Next Steps
If your mother has any of the symptoms mentioned in the next section, seek medical help
