Hypotension: A disease entity with a unique psychologic symptom profile?

Abstract

Although some symptoms are commonly found to be associated with low blood pressure, the literature has not provided any convincing evidence to suggest that these symptoms are the direct result of hypotension. Several researchers have even questioned its status as a disease entity. The twentieth-century literature is reviewed to find answers to the above questions.
