Complications

• Shock
• Injury from falls due to fainting
• Falls are particularly dangerous for older adults. Fall-related injuries, such as a broken hip, can dramatically impact a person's quality of life.
• Severe hypotension starves the body of oxygen, which can damage the heart, brain, and other organs.

Prognosis

• Low blood pressure can usually be treated with success.
