Complications

  • Shock
  • Injury from falls due to fainting
  • Falls are particularly dangerous for older adults. Fall-related injuries, such as a broken hip, can dramatically impact a person's quality of life.
  • Severe hypotension starves the body of oxygen, which can damage the heart, brain, and other organs.

Prognosis

  • Low blood pressure can usually be treated with success.
