What If i notice sudden decline in my Blood Pressure

A single lower-than-normal reading is not cause for alarm if you are not experiencing any other symptoms or problems. However, a sudden drop in blood pressure - even a change of just 20 mm Hg - can cause dizziness or fainting. Sometimes a rapid decrease in blood pressure can indicate an underlying problem such as:
Uncontrolled bleeding
Severe infections
Allergic reaction
Postural (orthostatic) hypotension
This occurs for some people when standing from a sitting or prone position. Their blood pressure drops rapidly, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision and/or even fainting. Causes can include dehydration, prolonged bed rest, diabetes, heart problems and excessive heat. Medications like diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, antidepressants and drugs for Parkinson's disease can also cause this condition. In some cases, sitting for long periods of time with legs crossed or squatting can be the cause.
