Well, it might be time to get this hypotension checked out by a doctor because low blood pressure is a problem if it causes dizziness or fainting.

When you stand up, gravity causes blood drop to the veins of your leg and reduces the amount of blood that returns to your heart. This causes your blood pressure to drop (orthostatic hypotension). Normally, your autonomic nervous system rapidly accommodates this effect by narrowing (constricting) your blood vessels and increasing your heart rate. But if these mechanisms don't work normally, the drop in blood pressure can be severe enough to cause fainting.

You might want to request a table tilt test, arterial catheterization or, at the least, a blood pressure test. Check it out, though. These symptoms are not normal.

I get the above - low blood pressure and dizziness to the point of virtigo

does anyone know if it causes paralyis?

Dec08 I was paraylised in my left arm, it came and went, then later in both limbs on the left. the next day it was three limb qickly spreading (so quick that I dropped me spoon of soup) and I was paralysed from the neck down for 5 and half hours. I was in emergeny for 7days. Dr stumped

Jan 09 I went to casualty twice with right arm stiffness then paralyisis again - and purple colouring in lower right arm - freezing cold. arm felt like my feet would feel when they are freezing cold in bed

March 09 - Ive had the same pains in right arm for 2 weeks, most of the time, but no purple colouring.

Ive seen 2 neuros, had CT scan Lumber Puncture then MRI all normal

waiting to see the first neuro again in next couple of weeks.

Anyone know if low blood pressure - dizziness - and paralysis are linked?
