The treatment of hypotension varies based on the cause and the underlying diseases. Mild hypotension without any accompanying diseases can often be managed by nutritional adjustments, proper rest, avoiding overwork, and refraining from staying up late and smoking. These measures can help gradually increase blood pressure. In cases where hypotension is caused by shock, bleeding, or heart disease, treatment should address these conditions while also replenishing blood volume and administering antihypertensive drugs as necessary. Severe hypotension can be life-threatening, thus, acute and severe low blood pressure is considered a critical condition that requires immediate emergency treatment.
