Low blood pressure is less dangerous than high blood pressure, but in some cases it can lead to a heart attack. This opinion was expressed by Robert Schwinger, a German cardiologist and member of the board of the Bavarian Heart Attack Network.

As per the specialist, the symptoms of hypotension (low blood pressure) are ringing in the ears, weakness, headache, as well as rocking gait and arrhythmia.

According to Focus, the cardiologist refuted the claim that hypotension does not affect health and protects the circulatory system and human organs.

As per the specialist, low blood pressure can be an independent illness, especially in thin and tall people who do not do sports. In addition, low blood pressure can lead to disorder of thyroid function, cardiovascular disease, and neurogenic disorders.

The expert noted that low blood pressure is usually a threat to the elderly, as they can lose their balance due to dizziness, and this can lead to serious injuries.

Another risk of low blood pressure is heart attack. According to the specialist, this applies first of all to the patients suffering from ischemic heart disease.
