Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure

If you experience recurrent symptoms such as:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness

it’s important to get your blood pressure checked, as these may indicate it’s too low.

If symptoms occur when you stand up or change positions suddenly, you might be experiencing a form of low blood pressure known as postural hypotension.
