Some people have naturally low blood pressure, which the doctor notices only when he or she takes their blood pressure during regular check-ups. This is less of a concern than sudden hypotension or the onset of chronic hypotension, which tend to indicate a problem requiring diagnosis and treatment. Still, if a patient has naturally low blood pressure with no symptoms, this should still be taken into account when prescribing certain medications or treatments.
