What Causes Low Systolic Blood Pressure?
Question: I was diagnosed as having a sbp of 60 recently in hospital. What does this mean.
Brief Answer:
Systolic Blood Pressure
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. Most commonly SBP term is used for Systolic Blood Pressure which is a component of Blood Pressure (BP) readings.
I must say that SBP of 60 mmHg is extremely low we classify this as a state of Shock.
I suppose you must be suffering from some Major illness when you had such a low BP. This could be infection , hypovolumia, cardiovascular issues.
If you could provide me details of your admission reason I can help you better.
Stay Healthy.
