A diagnosis of unstable blood pressure can be caused by a multitude of factors, illnesses and disease processes. Unstable blood pressure can provoke a variety of symptoms, including but not limited to dizziness, shortness of breath, instability, fainting and erratic heart rhythms.
Blood pressure varies from one person to another. A drop as little as 20 mmHg, can cause problems for some people. There are different types and causes of low blood pressure. Severe hypotension can be caused by sudden loss of blood (shock), severe infection, heart attack, or severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). Orthostatic hypotension is caused by a sudden change in body position.
