Low blood pressure

The term for low blood pressure is hypotension. It describes when blood pressure readings are lower than normal, which can cause dizziness or fainting in some people. Hypertension is the opposite—high blood pressure. The other options aren’t related: a stye is an eyelid infection, and sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses. Understanding this term helps you recognize and respond appropriately to clients who may feel lightheaded or need to take precautions during treatments.
