The emergency injection for low blood pressure is epinephrine adrenaline which rapidly raises your blood pressure in critical situations such as septic shock or severe hypotension.
Epinephrine adrenaline should only be injected by a trained medical professional.
Epinephrine acts as a stimulate and causes your blood vessels to constrict and the heart to beat faster which leads to an increase in blood pressure.
Low blood pressure is also known as hypotension and is when the force of the blood circulating through your arteries is abnormally low.
Causes of low blood pressure include dehydration, blood loss, heart failure and even medications like antihypertensives.
Blood pressure is considered low when your blood pressure reading is less than 90 mm to 60 Hg.
The signs of having low blood pressure include fainting, confusion, feeling weak, blurred vision, feeling sick, dizziness and lightheadedness.
Lack of concentration and cold and clammy, pale skin and nausea, unusual thirst and dehydration are also signs of low blood pressure.
Hypotension is abnormally low blood pressure (lower than 90/60 mm Hg).
If your blood pressure gets too low, it can cause dizziness, fainting or death.
Low blood pressure is not a condition that is usually treated except if it occurs in the elderly or occurs suddenly.
Having low blood pressure can cause a stroke as well as a heart attack because when you have a drop in blood pressure it means not enough oxygen rich blood is getting to your brain and other vital organs which is what leads to a stroke or heart attack.
