Is low blood pressure dangerous for the elderly?

Patient's question:

Grandma's blood pressure is a bit low, and she often suffers from headaches and dizziness. She also felt dizzy a few days ago. Could you please tell me what precautions should be taken in daily life when one has low blood pressure? What range of low blood pressure is dangerous for the elderly?

Doctor's answer:

Elderly people are in danger of life when their high blood pressure is higher than 60mmHg. Elderly people's low blood pressure is mostly related to insufficient nutrition intake and physical condition. It is appropriate to enhance exercise and reduce physical fitness. In addition, if there is no impact on diet, it should be enhanced to take in nutrition, eating high-protein and high-cholesterol foods. Pay attention to rest, prevent excessive labor, pay attention to dietary structure, and adjust your own dietary habits.
