Hypotension & Fainting, Complicated at Central & Northeastern PA Pinnacle Health
Fainting is the brief loss of consciousness, usually caused by a low blood pressure (aka hypotension). The low blood pressure causes a lack of blood to the brain and subsequently, a lack of oxygen to the brain. Fainting due to low blood pressure often occurs when people sit or stand up too quickly. Diagnosis for the cause of fainting often involves an electrocardiogram (ECG). Low blood pressure itself does not need treatment, but since it is often a sign of something else, increased hydration, blood transfusions, and medication can all be used to treat it.
