Q. Can low blood pressure cause angina?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, low blood pressure can be a contributor to angina. Angina is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, which leads to insufficient fuel in order for it to pump adequately. Low blood pressure can trigger this phenomenon because when there is less pressure being exerted on the walls of your arteries, the amount of oxygen-rich nutrients that are reaching your heart decreases. As a result, you may experience chest pain - one of the early signs of angina - due to an inadequate amount of energy available for contractions within your cardiac muscle.
The key symptom associated with angina is chest tightness or heaviness, often accompanied by pain in other parts of your body such as down one arm or up into the neck and jaw. In some cases, however, individuals affected by low blood pressure may not experience any symptoms until their condition worsens and becomes unable to support regular cardiac activity without experiencing discomfort and/or fatigue. If left untreated over time (especially if combined with other health issues like high cholesterol or diabetes) this issue could lead to more serious conditions such as a heart attack or stroke so medical attention should always be sought out if you suspect you have angina due to low BP levels!
