Brief Answer:
Hypotension is low blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I believe its Hypotension you are referring to. It is a condition wherein the blood pressure is low below 100/60mmHg.

This is more serious compared to high blood pressure. In here the adequate amount of blood may not reach the important organs which may result in damage.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
