Does low blood pressure cause dizziness in the elderly?

Patient's question:

My mother is 65 years old this year and has always had low blood pressure. Recently, she has often experienced symptoms of dizziness. If I am at home, it's okay, and I can take care of her, but if I go to work or if she goes out for a walk, it becomes serious when I'm not around. So, I want to ask, what should be done about low blood pressure with dizziness in the elderly?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you currently described, you mentioned that your mother primarily has low blood pressure and currently has recurring symptoms of dizziness. This is mainly considered to be caused by insufficient blood supply and oxygen to the brain due to low blood pressure, which may lead to the recurrence of the aforementioned symptoms. If this situation occurs again, it is recommended to promptly increase blood pressure. It is also advised to maintain a balanced diet and avoid excessive meat consumption.
