Low blood pressure and low blood count are two entirely different conditions, says the '' Ontario Medical Association. Low blood count generally denotes a lower than normal hemoglobin content or oxygen -carrying capacity of the blood; in other words, anemia. This is always a symptom of 0 some ,underlying disorder and requires careful investigation to determine its exact cause. Low ,blood pressure describes the situation in which a patient's blood pressure -- the' force at which the blood is being ,. pumped . through the blood vessels — is dower than one would expect when compared to others of the same age group. (The term is also used in conditions of shock or hemorrhage where low blood y, pressure is present and represents the body's reaction to the specific causes.). The O.M A. says it is unwise and unfair to tell a person who feels well' and has no specific symptom that be has low blood pressure — simply because this er was detected during a routine medical examination. Such a person is probably better off in e long run than the person with a. blood pressure that is considered normal. One symptom that is related t to so-called low blood pressure is dizziness due to postural hypotension. The patient usually has a sense of 'dizziness, particularly on suddenly changing position from lying to sitting or standing. This is really eV no great significance, and can be eliminated completely by changing position more slowly. BURNS Hot;. scaldingfluids should be ° out of reach.
