   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension

   Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure. [1] Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood [2] and is indicated by two numbers, the systolic blood pressure (the top number) and the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), which are the ...

   Orthostatic hypotension can be a side effect of certain antidepressants, such as tricyclics [23] or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) [24] Alcohol can potentiate orthostatic hypotension to the point of syncope. [25] Orthostatic hypotension can also be a side effect of alpha-1 blockers (alpha 1 adrenergic blocking agents).

   Tachycardia (abnormally rapid beating of the heart) Radiotherapy, therapeutic radiation used to treat cancer can cause a delayed side effect injury in adjacent tissue via progressive, proliferative endarteritis, inflamed arterial linings that disrupt the tissue's blood supply.

5. Low pressure receptors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_pressure_receptors

   Low pressure baroreceptors have both circulatory and renal effects, which produce changes in hormone secretion. Stimulation of these receptors causes the atria to release atrial natriuretic peptide. This hormone acts on the kidneys to increase sodium excretion, which increases urine production and thereby leads to a decrease in blood pressure.

6. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   Pulse pressure is considered low if it is less than 25% of the systolic. (For example, if the systolic pressure is 120 mmHg, then the pulse pressure would be considered low if it is less than 30 mmHg, since 30 is 25% of 120.) [91] A very low pulse pressure can be a symptom of disorders such as congestive heart failure. [52]
