There are several types of low blood pressure:
Orthostatic hypotension, occurs when a sudden sharp decrease in blood pressure when a sudden change in body position, such as standing up after prolonged lying. In this case, blood rushes to the extremities, quickens the heartbeat. But those with a low pressure orthostatic this mechanism fails. They are accompanied by a sudden reduction in pressure, resulting in a loss of coordination, dizziness and even fainting. Furthermore, blood pressure may drop sharply due to bleeding, shock, collapse, acute infectious disease, response to the drug. This is very dangerous, as they violate the blood supply to vital organs - brain, heart, kidney,. Such a patient in need of urgent assistance in hospital.
