Does Low Blood Pressure Cause Fainting?
My 16 year old daughter fainted yesterday at school about 30 minutes after taking Bayer asprin. Today, before giving blood at her school blood drive, a nurse checked her blood pressure and it was 90/62 (they let her give blood anyway). After giving blood, she felt very weak and could hardly stand up. Could her fainting be from the asprin or could it be a side effect of her low blood pressure?

Hello,
Would explain fainting is usually related to low blood pressure values. It is not related to Aspirin.
I would just recommend taking plenty of water and increasing salt intake if her blood pressure values continue to stay low.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
