Two part meme. Part one is a crying young person who looks like they’re desperate to get someone to understand something. Caption: ‘Me explaining why I can walk fast and run but can’t stand or walk slowly well’. Part two is a super annoyed looking, slightly older person. Caption: ‘people still assuming I’m lying out of laziness’.
OK, now you got me curious. I just searched hypotension and assuming I got the right wikipedia article its chronically low blood pressure, so now I would like to know if my hypothesis is right:
The Wikipedia article listet blackouts as one of the symptoms due to the brain not receiving enough oxygen. The reason you can walk fast/run is, since then your heart rate and blood pressure goes up, so you aren’t at risk of blacking out. However, if you walk slowly more oxygen is need by the rest of the body, but your heart rate/blood pressure doesn’t go up risking a blackout?
This Community is also one of The prime examples, why I love Lemmy. Seeing all kinds of different communities about topics I have never heard about is absolutely great.
