When should you be concerned about low blood pressure? Low blood pressure (hypotension) is typically defined as a reading below 90/60 mm Hg. It can occur on its own or be a sign of an underlying condition. In some cases, it may not cause any symptoms. But when it does, it’s important to pay attention.

Because low blood pressure can have various causes, including dehydration, medication side effects or underlying health conditions, it’s important to seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen. If you’re on chronic medication, your pharmacist can also help review your treatment and advise you on safe use.

Never take your kidneys for granted. Healthy kidneys are something many of us overlook until something goes wrong. Yet they play a vital role in keeping your body in balance every day. Your kidneys don’t just filter waste and excess fluid from your blood to form urine.

They also help to:
• Support red blood cell production
• Produce essential hormones
• Balance electrolytes in your body
• Help regulate blood pressure
• Maintain healthy bones

As pharmacist Tlangelani Siwele from Medipost Pharmacy explains, kidney health is central to overall wellbeing, whether you are preventing disease, managing a chronic condition or navigating treatment such as dialysis or transplant care. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4tDza1S.
