[How to manage chronically low blood pressure?].
Chronic arterial hypotension has been poorly studied. Its mechanisms are not well understood; its treatment (if needed) is disappointing, without any demonstrated improvement of symptoms or prognosis. Thus, a complete medical examination is needed to exclude any organic cause. If none is found, it is important to reassure the patient and to convince him not to use expensive drugs potentially generative of side effects.
