NHS advises consulting a GP for low blood pressure symptoms like dizziness and confusion.

The NHS urges people to consult their GP if they suspect low blood pressure (hypotension), with symptoms including dizziness and the less-known symptom of confusion. Defined as a reading below 90/60mmHg, low blood pressure may not always cause symptoms but requires treatment if it does. The NHS recommends blood pressure checks every five years for those aged 40 to 74 and advises lifestyle adjustments like slow position changes and staying hydrated to manage symptoms.
