Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, refers to a condition in which an individual's blood pressure is abnormally low. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed as two numbers: systolic (the pressure when the heart beats) over diastolic (the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats). A typical normal blood pressure reading is around 120/80 mmHg.
