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.
