Myasthenia gravis, a rare, chronic disorder that causes weakness and rapid muscle fatigue. Muscle weakness that is slowly getting worse requires a visit to a doctor. Sudden muscle weakness and loss of function in one area of the body can indicate a serious problem within the brain (such as a stroke or transient ischemic attack) or spinal cord or with a specific nerve in the body.
Causes of low blood pressure: Heart disease. 1  Weakened heart muscle can cause the heart to fail and reduce the amount of blood it pumps. 2  One common cause of weakened heart muscle is the death of a large portion of the heart's muscle due to a single, large heart attack or repeated smaller heart attacks. The resting heart rate for a healthy adult is between 60 and 100 beats/minute. 2  Bradycardia (resting heart rates slower than 60 beats/minute) does not always cause low blood pressure. 3  In fact, some highly trained athletes can have resting heart rates in the 40s and 50s (beats per minute) without any symptoms.
