      This article is pointless. First of all, despite side-effects, people with low blood pressure typically live long lives (longer than people who maintain normal BP).
      But obviously if you're seeing stars every time you stand up, then your BP is way too low.

      Any of that could have been said in this article...

      this has to be the laziest writer in history. not even one symptom is mentioned much less any information that could possibly do anyone any good unless they already know that they have it, in which case their doctor could give them better details than what is here. pointless...
