http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension
In physiology and medicine, hypotension is low blood pressure.
For many people, excessively low blood pressure can cause dizziness and fainting or indicate serious heart, endocrine or neurological disorders. Severely low blood pressure can deprive the brain and other vital organs of oxygen and nutrients, leading to a life-threatening condition called shock.

In older adults, common daily activities can result in dangerous reductions in blood pressure (hypotension). With age, a person's ability to compensate for these activities becomes compromised. This drop in blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain, often resulting in loss of consciousness and a consequent fall.
