![zagrożenia związane z niskim ciśnieniem krwi](https://cardiohow.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/low-blood-pressure-dangerous.jpg)
A sudden drop in blood pressure can be dangerous. A change of just 20 mm Hg, or a drop from 110 mm Hg systolic to 90 mm Hg systolic, for example, can cause dizziness and fainting. And large drops, such as those caused by uncontrolled bleeding, severe infections or allergic reactions, can be life-threatening.
Can low blood pressure cause a stroke?
A less common cause of ischemic stroke is blood pressure that is too low (hypotension), which reduces blood flow to the brain. This usually happens with narrowed or diseased arteries.
