Are you hypotension? Many healthcare experts consider people with low blood pressure like you are gifted by the nature. So be happy for your condition of low BP, yes truly you are lucky to have low blood pressure. Your body organs are more safer than those with normal blood pressure. Still few of you may have some annoying low blood pressure symptoms difficult to manage  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdncntx (talk • contribs) 13:27, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Hypotensive redirects to this article, but this term is not bolded in this article or explained. It is not clear to me if a drug described as hypotensive (see Normacusine B) lowers blood pressure or treats low blood pressure. Derek Andrews (talk) 23:41, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hypotensive 

message: Hello. I am a fourth year medical student and will be working on editing this article on Hypotension over the next 4 weeks. I will focus mainly on improving the sources used and citing sources within the article. If there are any errors within the article, I will look to correct those. I would also like to add a section on Pediatrics. Below are the specifics of my plan:
Introduction: Make sure there are citations for each statement. Expand the general information provided about hypotension. Add a photograph to improve the visual of the page.
Causes: Provide citations for each statement. 
Pathophysiology: expand this section and include citations
Pediatrics: Add this section and include the differences in blood pressure depending on patient age. Symptoms related to hypotension in a pediatric patient.
I look forward to working on this article. If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know so I can add them to my work plan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sostephmurphy (talk • contribs) 15:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
